Some people aren’t going to like what you write. Write it anyway.
Some people, people you know objectively suck at being a human being, will get more kudos, more comments, more recs. Write it anyway.
Some of your friends aren’t going to read what you write. Write it anyway.
Some of the people you support the most won’t support your work. Write it anyway.
Some people are going to say your characterization is 100% wrong. X would never. Write it anyway.
It’s been done before. Write it anyway.
Your writing might not measure up to the fandom greats. Write it anyway. (I can guarantee they didn’t measure up at some point either)
Some people aren’t going to rec your work. Write it anyway. (And make your own recs)
Write it anyway.
Write it anyway.
Write it anyway.
Write it, because nobody else can tell YOUR stories.

You made a mistake and you hurt me…
It’s okay, it happens… it happens a lot actually.
It seems as though everybody in my life ends up hurting me at some point, and whether you’re sorry or not; whether you fully understand the depth of the hurt you’ve caused or not… I forgive you for it anyway. You had a moment of weakness and I can forgive that… I just wish I hadn’t been the one to pay the price for it.
You know, sometimes it feels like the people closest to me are always the ones I have to forgive for hurting me at some point… and I guess it was your turn. But I suppose if I thought about every time I’ve been hurt by someone I loved and laid them all out in order from least to most painful – what you’ve done probably wouldn’t be at the top of the list. But what makes it hurt so much is that it was the first time you’d ever hurt me, ever lied to me… ever betrayed me. And when I think of all the people who’ve hurt me – and it’s a long list – you were never on it until now and that was part of the reason I loved you so much.
Perhaps it was naive of me, but I really thought you’d never be on that list. I honestly thought you were different. I thought you knew me well enough to realize I’d been let down and hurt by just about every human being I’d ever let get within striking distance… and that you of all people would never do anything like that.
I thought you knew better… clearly I was wrong.
