Writers suffer from tinker bell brain they need constant applause or they start believing everything they’ve written is horseshit
The rest is confetti.
Had a particularly violent revelation about what AFOhouse reminds me of a couple days ago and decided I had to make this.
so I learned that I wasn’t the only one whose hands hurt when emotionally attacked. Like the palms of my hands? It’s supposedly because my body is going ‘NOPE’ when feeling particularly stressed.
grief & anger & grief & anger & then regret & further grief & somewhere between it all, me
Ada Limón, from "To the Busted Among Us", Sharks in the Rivers
[ID: An excerpt of poetry by Ada Limón. It reads, "I say to a stranger, (italics) I am harmless. (end italics) / But the word doesn't seem right. I have been harmed, but I do not wish to do harm, but I could do harm. / (I am not without desire.)" End ID.]

Marya Hornbacher, Madness: A Bipolar Life
[ID: An excerpt of poetry by Marya Hornbacher. It reads, "This is the world. I am trying not to take up very much space or make any noise, because there is a kind of silence that bewilders and fascinates me, and I am afraid of my voice. (red highlighting) I am afraid of myself, the self that was mad. (highlighting ends)" End ID.]
the way women write about themselves as mad when it's really anger and fear and sadness (just any kind of mental health thing)
and we call it madness because female hysteria was invented by a man
the way there are so many songs about madness but it's not madness it's being human in a world that never believes you

hydrangeas blooming in tsuyu
[Image description: digital painting; Tsuyu lies in shallow water, face turned to the viewer, half submerged. It is cool and dark, and muted blue and pink clusters of hydrangea flowers weigh down the deep green branches of the bush over her, obscuring her body. Her long, dark green hair flows out through the still water. Hazy firefly lights blink around her. Reflected on the water is the kanji text: 梅雨に咲く紫陽花 / Tsuyu ni saku ajisai. “In rainy season, hydrangeas bloom.” End description.]
it's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever
it's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
