my proudest moment is the fact I begged my mum to read the osemanverse… she finally gave in. So now she’s smashed radio silence and just finished iwbft about an hour ago- she comes up to me right after she finished it and goes
‘did you say the orange book’ (she doesn’t know the names just the colours) ‘is getting a sequel? I need to know what happens to the ark’
I just gave her solitaire lord help us all

happy self injury awareness month! <3
I know I'm a few days late but if you didn't know March is self injury (aka self harm) awareness month!
Self harm is a very important thing to be aware of, it is typically used as a coping method for someone who is struggling with their mental health, different forms sh (TW): cvtting, bvrning, hitting ect.
If you know someone who suffers from self harm, there's not much you can do to try help them not relapse other than being there for them, and please never question or judge them for it ❤️ and I recommend not paying any attention to their scars.
If you suffer from self harm, there's still not much I can say about staying clean and not relapsing as I myself am not clean but that doesn't mean I won't be and that you wont be, recovery is a difficult thing to accomplish but it is still very reachable. I'd recommend instead of self harming trying writing/venting, putting on a comfort show/movie/ect and talking to someone if you can, I do really hope you find yourself at peace but you should never feel ashamed for using this to cope or any other reason you do it and even if we don't know each other my dms will always be open :)
also happy international women's day! = 08/03

A smoker's kiss - small tw for sh <3
I burn myself with the end of cigarettes just so the smell of smoke stays, they remind me of ashy clouds and the gloom i feel when they fade away...
I burn myself with your cigarettes, just so the smell of your smokey breath stays. They remind me of your ashy kisses and the ache i feel when you pull away.

Apple juice or grape juice.
We've always been told that we were supposed to drink apple juice. It's healthier, cheaper and it tastes better (apparently)
Nobody ever argued with this. It's just the way things go, we drink apple juice.
For a bit (only when I was small) I did too, I drank apple juice but it never tasted that good to me, as I would pour the golden liquid down my throat it almost felt like it was burning me from the inside out, to me it wasn't gold like sweet honey it was gold like a lit burning fire slowly setting everything around me and about me ablaze. My mum would have to force me to drink it and my dad would yell when I didn't.
By the time I was in school I couldn't be forced to drink apple juice anymore but I was scared of being 'different' by drinking something else like grape juice so I didn't drink anything.
If anyone asked
"why aren't you drinking apple juice?"
"Oh I'm just not thirsty right now"
I was still seen as weird though.
But I don't think that was because I wasn't drinking apple juice.
I started getting sick of not drinking anything but the only thing else to drink was... grape juice.
Nobody.
drinks grape juice.
But aren't I a nobody?
I picked up the grape juice carton.
*sipppp*
...
Instead of feeling fire burning my throat there was a river of sweet purple fruit flowing down, It made me unusually happy. I realised that I was definitely weird, people looked at me funny as I drank it and I was definitely getting judged.
But there's nothing I can do, I just like grape juice.

I wrote this yup
Gloves (ver. 1)
"I've always been told that I had cold hands...
that they were sharp and painful to hold so nobody ever did. I started wearing gloves even on hot summer days where my hands were boiling underneath the soft wool that caged them because I thought that would make them warmer and easier to hold, I tried tell everyone on those days...
"Hey, look my hands aren't cold anymore"
but they never believed me.
For awhile I got used to the gloves, they were apart of me. But as I started meeting new people (people that didn't know I had cold hands) I started getting questions.
"Why are you always wearing gloves?"
"Do you ever take them off?"
Suddenly the gloves became itchy and uncomfortable (as they once were) like they were scratching my skin every second I had them on. I remembered that they weren't apart of me, that they were an accessory I forced on just because I was told that nobody would ever want to hold onto my hands if they stayed that sharp and that nobody ever did.
I asked one of the new people that I met (one of the people that didn't know I had cold hands)
"Would you care if I told you that I had cold hands, would you care to hold them even though nobody else ever has?"
...
"No why would I..?
It became clear to me in that moment that maybe my hands weren't as cold. as sharp. as painful as I was told and maybe they never really were and even if they were maybe it wasn't as big of a deal as it was deemed, maybe it was just the hands holding them that made them seem that way.
In that moment after that realisation
I slowly took off the gloves."
