A Friendly Reminder

Don’t allow people to ruin things. Don’t allow people to ruin things. Don’t allow people to ruin things. Don’t allow people to ruin things. Don’t allow people to ruin things. Don’t allow people to ruin things. Don’t allow people to ruin things. Don’t allow people to ruin things. Don’t allow people to ruin things. Don’t allow people to ruin things. YOU are in control of the things you Like and Dislike, Don’t let them take it away from you. UNLESS, Its harmful to yourself and/or others.

A tip! To not let people ruin things, do them positively. If your ex ruined a movie then pock a day when things are going well and grab some snacks you love and comfy clothes to watch it. If you got catcalled or harassed at a restaurant, bring a friend or two that you’re close to and only talk about happy stuff. Take as many things that you have a positive connection to and pile them on the thing you’re trying to take back.

A more overt way, and very helpful in the moment I’ve found and often used in session with clients, is to ask yourself “Does this person deserve to have this hold over me?”. The key word here is DESERVE. Not if they already have power over you to, not if they’re scary enough to, not if it feels like they’ve already taken things from you, do they as a person deserve to have power over you?

I promise, the answer is no. No one does.

A concept in my head that been rolling around a lot:

Hanahaki, but instead of it being triggered by unrequited love, it's triggered because all the love you have for a person turns inwards because you're too afraid to show it.

So it kills you, not because someone doesn't love you back, but because you don't let it out and all that love you have stored, that could grow into something beautiful, turns on you and turns your insides beautiful.

Love is growth, and without any place for it to grow outside, it grows in. If you confess, reciprocated or not, the disease goes away because it's no longer trapped. It gives self-destruction a new meaning.

I love this concept.

Treat anything on Discord as media that will be lost

Do not use Discord to host your files. Do not rely on Discord to preserve your text. DO NOT RELY ON DISCORD FOR ANY KIND OF PRESERVATION OR HOSTING!!

It CAN be lost, it WILL be lost! You must consider Discord as a part of the Core Internet, controlled by one company that hosts the servers.

I thought it was impressive at first that it replaced IRC, but now I am horrified. If the company behind Discord went under today, how many friends would you lose?

How many relationships? How much writing?

You may think this won't happen, but I remember when AIM went down and along with it, entire novels worth of interaction with my oldest friend.

IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. NO COMPANY IS INFALLIBLE.

Back up your files! Download anything you've saved to Discord NOW, before the API changes go into effect! And DO NOT RELY ON THEM FOR HOLDING IMPORTANT FILES!

Here is a program that lets you download any and all of your discord DMs, your servers, everything. You can set the format (raw text, html (dark and light), and others. You can even download the uploaded files not just the text, though that may be just for the command-line version not the GUI window version.

Please back up your conversations, your stories. I have a backup of everything I care about that runs once a week, with full attachment backups every several months. I write stories on discord, and would be devastated if someone happened to them. You have to have your own local copies of every file you care about.
