I am so sad and so gay someone help me please
Wait thats so cool
I finished 12th last year <3
Realising I have grown up with otherkinity in my life..
This isn't meant to really mean anything, it's just a cool observation of mine.
I found out about it in grade 9, through a friend. She'd sent me a tumblr blog of otherkin recipes, saying something like "otherkin are kinda weird, but their recipes are amazing"
This led to me looking through the blog, discovering a whole Thing that would otherwise be unknown to me. It started off as just a "phase" iykwim? It felt fun and interesting, and I really connected with it but I wasn't sure why. I made *some* things up, as "edgy" teens are wont to do, but slowly discovered a part of me I didn't have a name for previously.
As of writing this and saving it to my drafts, I am in grade 12, age 17, and will be done with school this year. I know myself so much better now because of otherkinity etc etc (Side note: I graduated school! And am in a full-time job! go me! (and I'll be 18 this year <3))
I'm just so sad about the blog - I have no clue what it was called! I tried searching for it so many times previously and found other amazing recipe blogs, but I'm not entirely sure what that specific blog was.
As far as I remember, it had a pink/light red mushroom/foraging theme.
Just a semi-regular reminder that you do not have to wait until it is "that bad" in order to start pursuing recovery. You don't have to let it get worse in order to count. If it's happening to you, it counts. You matter and you don't have to put yourself through more suffering and a longer, more arduous recovery process (and more lasting damage!) in order to prove that it was bad enough. If you want to get better now, you do not have to get anybody's permission to do it. Healing can start anytime, anywhere, and you do not have to endure any worse in order to deserve better.
you have to stay alive. you're going to be such a beautiful middle aged freak. young freaks will see you in the street and know that things can be okay.
If you ever feel discouraged just remember that several popular books and movies came from Wattpad.
They might be popular for the wrong reason, but hey, you know what they say about bad publicity.
A lot of writing tips, I feel, can relate a little to the rest of life.
It's really easy to get caught up on a small plot point and mull over it, editing and editing that one point again.
But that won't get you anywhere.
Even if it's not perfect, you have to keep writing past that or else you'll never end up making progress.
That embarrassing thing you did five years ago? That one comment? They suck, and they can hurt or keep you awake. But it's a minor plot point, and you have to step over it and keep writing. Even if out of spite.
It is quite possibly one of the hardest things to do in both writing and in real life.
