Some Words To Use When Writing Things:

literally me running to Tumblr after twitter died

“I don’t think that I accepted that I wasn’t gonna die young until I was 26 or 27. I really don’t think I fully…when I was 14, 15, 16, 17–I mean I knew as sure as I know that I am wearing green shoes that I was going to die before much happened. It was a certainty for me. And I had shaken off the directly suicidal urge by the time I was 21 or 22, but I still was pretty sure I was going to die pretty young, it really felt like an inevitability. It takes a long time to realize no, you’ve changed…if you shared those feelings with people at some point you go, ‘well, I guess we’re going to stick around.’ And it’s a funky thing to admit because there’s a part of your inner younger self that kind of judges you for that.”

My brain: Hey, hey, hey!!! So I’ve got this AMAZING new story idea. There are, like, these awesome characters, and I’ve already got their tragic backstories and, like, two scenes plotted out, and I even know that one of them wears a purple shirt on page eighty two. WANNA WRITE IT?

Me, pulling out my laptop: Yeah, yeah! Do you have anything else? What are their names? What’s the conflict? And the plot??

My brain:

Still having some doubts 😅

If you’re reading this, you’re real.

You’re not in a coma, you’re not dreaming, you’re not in a simulation. I’m real and I’m telling you that you too, are indeed real.
