This year has been weird and hard and isolating but it’s also been the year that I’ve had to face my demons and fears. I’ve learned a lot, I wish I could have learned sooner because in some cases I care about I learned too late.
My intentions were good, my actions were not. I’m sorry. I’ve learned a lot in the past weeks. Just want the best for you and want you to be happy, whatever that means for you. If it means moving on then I wish you the best. I’ll miss you and deep down I’ll always care but I know now that I need to step away. I’m sorry I couldn’t realize that sooner. What’s meant to be will be.
Tbh I wish I could believe this.... having to essentially teach yourself that you matter is hard. Logically I know I may have made a positive impact on someone but on low days it’s hard to see it or even fathom that anything I did could really change anyone.
Your impact on other people is bigger than you think. Someone still giggles when they think of that funny thing you said. Someone still smiles when they think of the compliment you gave them. Someone silently admires you. The advice you give has made a difference for people. The support and love you've offered others has made someone's day. Your input and opinions have made someone think twice. You're not insignificant and forgotten. Your existence makes a positive difference, whether you see it or not.
i don’t think people really get how little feedback fanfic authors actually get? like the effort to reaction ratio is so abysmally skewed here that a fic nearly 50,000 words long takes an entire year to amass like. 16 comments. someone reblogged a fic i wrote at 4 am and tagged it with a 5-word compliment and i can’t stop thinking about it, not because it was so nice but because half the time you post a fic you’re going to hear nothing and anything feels like so much
fandom culture is so, so good about giving artists the credit they’re due, but we gotta start doing that for writers too. you’ve got no idea how much people put into their stories and get maybe a handful of reblogs and a dozen-odd kudos. that’s not enough. writing is an endurance sport and y’all need to start giving fic writers a reason to endure it and improve their craft. encourage writers like you encourage artists. reblog fics, leave tags, leave comments, acknowledge that these stories do not just spring into being for your entertainment.
every single damn writer i know feels like half of their readers see them as a machine. that’s gotta change.
Quentin Coldwater and his best friend Margo Hanson go on vacation to clear their minds for a fresh start. Quentin encounters and enchanting man of mystery, turns out he’s royalty. Will this fairytale turn out to be Quentin’s wildest dream and will he be able to find his Happy Ever After? A love story of royal proportions.
Hi!!! I hope you’re having a wonderful xmas/hanukkah/holidays in general, and if you’re not I hope that tomorrow treats you better. I’m sending you so much love and I hope that you get many mistletoe kisses as long as you’re okay with that (and I’m honestly sending you many kisses as long as that’s also okay because you’re so lovely!!)
You’re so sweet. The holiday was pretty good. I hope yours was too. Thank you for the kindness 😊
This is really out of the blue but I just think you’re so beautiful, like soooo physically attractive but also so kind to everyone around you and it’s really lovely to see :) I’m way too intimidated to talk to you off anon but I’m totally rooting for you in anything you do and I hope you’re having a really good night because you’re super cute and deserve it bunches!!
Thank you. Very kind words. I hope you’re having a good night too Anon.

“…I came to understand that I was the same person the whole time. I’m loved now, but when I wasn’t it didn’t mean that I wasn’t worthy of it. No one but you is allowed to dictate what you’re worth.”
