added this section with the tags i use most often so i can find posts later, everything else is just #on *thing* and frankly i can't be bothered with that.
will possibly add links to fandoms and reads... not sure yet. it would be good to have an active list of all the books i read and enjoyed enough to keep a list of…. here’s a short list of fandomesque things tho: sherlock, rwby, bts/kpop, d20, sk8 the infinity, good omens, epic the musical, lore olympus webtoon, loki series, fnaf,
books would include: archives of despair by caleb finn, hamlet, good omens, throne of glass series, embassy row series, the song of achilles by madeline miller, they both die at the end duology, the inheritance games series, shadow and bone+six of crows, everything by alice oseman
music as well perhaps? hozier, bts, ericdoa, noah kahan, glaive, cage the elephant, lizzy mcalpine, cave town, mccafferty, chase atlantic, brakence, eden, the front bottoms, (it’s all over the place… just not much country music tbh)

here’s the old intro post, haven't decided what to do with it yet

ik this is a new account, but i’ve been here since july 2020 <3
for what i have done and failed to do i am sorry.
“In order to discover the self, we must first face our core of shame. We must acknowledge that we have long held a belief in our own reprehension, and this belief had directed our life, and not for the better. Perhaps this seems the obvious and logical path as we objectively consider shame, but the subjective experience of facing toxic shame is utterly wrenching. It quakes even the most stable part of our soul, and leaves us terrified by the knowledge that we know nothing of who we truly are.”
