idk who needs to hear this, but your wants are not outrageous. you want love? you want attention? you want peace? you want comfort? you deserve it. you're not asking for too much.

How strange it is, that after all that we are strangers again.

it takes years to develop your craft. do not romanticize the idea of an ‘overnight success’. be a student. grow organically. get really good. hate your work. start over. find new ways to express the same ideas. the student becomes the master. your time will come.
I wouldn’t call myself quirky but there is definitely something wrong with me
Victoria Schwab Tweets:
“This just in: you can love writing and also find it hard.
“I was once on a panel and another author essentially said, ‘if you don’t enjoy every moment, then why are you here?’ and I was…exasperated. Creativity is a complicated beast. You don’t have to love every second to be a valid participant.
“I love the ideas. I love brainstorming, and problem-solving, and I love making this better, fine-tuning language.
“I also hate drafting, claw my way through self-doubt, crawl on my hands and knees through the frustration of the unrealized.
“I’m not here because I love every second.
“I’m here because the parts I love are worth the rest.”
*something minimally embarrassing happens on a light hearted tv show*
me to myself, covering my eyes with a blanket: “don’t worry baby it’s not real, it’s only actors. In real life embarrassing things don’t actually happen”
me: *is a living train wreck* yaaas!!! stay hydrated guys! life is so beautiful we are all beautiful always smile at strangers and eat healthy :)
things you don’t need
- a person who was nice to you but doesn’t make effort anymore
- friends who pressure you or make you feel worthless
- expensive equipment if you want to make art
- doing whatever your friends are doing
- being “naturally talented”
Keep it on the low but……..I want romance and intimacy…
