Shout out to self shippers who, for whatever reason, are embarrassed or shy about sharing who their F/O is or what their source is, even if others publicly ship with the same F/O or openly talk about the source.
Shout out to self shippers who end up not posting about them, or only share with very close friends. If you're more comfortable quietly consuming content about them or gushing to only one or two people, that is okay!
And shout out to self shippers who gather the courage and post about them anyway! How do y'all do it?! Can I get some of that??

i highly recommend developing an intense interest in some natural phenomenon or creature such as bugs or stars or mushrooms. you will be delighted every time you go outside
