Listen up!!!

I'm opening up commission for translations.

Why? Because I'm studying different languages as a major and minors and I would like to become a translator one day.

What? I'd like to translate mostly fanfictions, books, manga, comics. It's important that I have free access to the text! I will translate to english, german or spanish, in any direction.

How? Just write to me directly and share with me the link to text or the post or the page or whatever you want to have translated. I am not going to take any credit for your work, only for the translation!! as it is traditionally done. (I will be posting the translations on here or on AO3)

Something else? If you like my translation (either as a consumer or commisioner), I would like to take donations for the work 😊 just write directly to me if you have interest!

Thank you for your attention!

Even if I didn’t have a solid plan, in the back of my head, I always assumed I’d kill myself.

Now I’m an adult and people my age have their lives in order and I’m stuck here, confused, because I never planned to be alive and I’m so far behind.

I feel like I’ll never catch up.

Hey all.

I want to make an addition to this. I made this post a long time ago.

I’m currently back in university, and I’ve made so much progress with my trauma. I’m in a loving relationship.

Things can and will get better. It’s not too late.

Nothing is perfect by any means. But I’m happy I’m still here and didn’t kill myself. I hope you get to that point, too 💕

The addition is important! I see the original post circulating a lot, but the addition is important!

New addition two years later. I’m still going strong!

I’m getting married. I’m still in that loving relationship.

I’ve learned that there’s no real timeline. It’s okay. And while it sucks that I lost time, there’s still so much for me to experience and enjoy.

Newest addition. 7 years after the original post!

I got married last month! My dog is laying on me snoring. I’ve learned to have healthy friendships and relationships. I’ve learned that I’m not alone and that even when things are hard, I’m going to be okay.

You know what I f*ing hate? I sat down yesterday, chopped a ton of onion to make onion soup and now my itchi brain part that is in charge of hating certain food and food texture decided that onion soup isn't it and that it doesn't smell good. Wtf brain? You ate onion soup over the whole winter and did not complain once? I CHOPED SPICY GERMAN ONIONS FOR OVER HALF AN HOUR :c be grateful atleast...

People used to comment on web comics.

People used to comment on fanfiction.

People used to comment on fanart.

People used to comment on OCs.

I hate "content" culture.

I hate "consuming content" and scrolling immediately to the next thing.

People used to be excited about the art that other people created.

People used to want to share that excitement with creators.

I hate this future.

Once someone tagged art that I made with "woah" and I think about it at least once a week. Someone else said "oh neat" once. Someone else WROTE A WHOLE DAMN POEM IN THE COMMENTS. Anyways even just one word can change how someone sees their art. You don't even have to think about it too hard. You could put a keyboard smash and I'd probably cry from joy.

I'm also trying hard to interact more, I understand that it's hard to break away from opening your phone and being in Content Consumption Mode.

"We'll fix it in post" is a phrase from the film industry, but it is inherently funnier when it's spoken by a writer because--tragic--you are also the post-production team.
