"If tampons should be free, then so should my diabetes meds."

Yes? Yes they should be? Your life-saving medication that you need in order to live for a condition you were born with should be given to you at no cost?

I have a deep fear of being known BUT I have a slightly larger fear of being forgotten. the best solution I can come up with is making art every once in a while

I guess the biggest problem with tentacle porn is that it seldom has a positive message

So what if I'm not good enough?

No, seriously. So what if I'm not 'good enough'?

Who am I hurting by not being good enough? No one. Writing is a craft that gives, not takes away. Even the worst stories in the world can give the reader something, whether it was meant to or not.

So what if I gain a reputation for being a 'bad' writer? So what if people avoid my work for all the reasons I fear? So what? No seriously. So what?

I own who I am. I write my own words. They come from my heart alone. I don't use the plagiarism machine. I don't lie about my ethnicity. I don't exploit other people. I don't harass others, or chase them off social media. I don't hurt people to lift myself up, or for my own selfish fun. I'm not an asshole, at least, I try not to be.

So what if I'm not 'good enough'? So what if you're 'not good enough'? There's so much worse things to be than that.

And at the end of the day, I'm pretty sure, the only person who thinks I'm not good enough is myself. I mean, have you ever once looked at another person, nevermind a writer, and gone 'you're not good enough'? I haven't. I bet you haven't either.

Maybe you and I, we should show ourselves a little kindness tonight.

WARNING do NOT start reading books and comics or watching movies or looking at art!!! you will start wanting to create art yourself. or god forbid. writing.

This post genuinely altered the trajectory of my life and how i make a lot of my decisions and i think about it so much

[image description: 4 quadrants on a graph. the horizontal axis shows whether or not you should give up. and the vertical axis shows whether or not you can do it. in each quadrant is a short paragraph explaining how you should approach each situation. The top right quadrant is labeled "dont give up" and "you can do it". the text inside reads "you will prevail. you have all the necessary skills to pull it off." the top left quadrant is labeled "you can do it." and "give up" the text there reads. "you don't have anything to prove anyone. let yourself rest." the bottom left quadrant is labeled "give up" and "you can't do it" the text reads "know your limits. not everything is your burden to bear. walk out." the bottom right quadrant is labeled "you can't do it" and "don't give up" the text reads "the only way to learn is by falling. you will get the hang of it, but for now just push through.". end image description]
