I had a writers block and even I was surprised that there are some lesbian moves with such beautiful writing and story that they inspired me to continue writing poems.
You know that feeling when you start to be comfortable with your name, the name you choose for yourself, and then someone you love makes fun of it? And then it doesn't feel right to use that name? Well fuck them. I won't give them the satisfaction of changing it just for them. That's me. That name is me. And you won't make me change my mind
hey fellow people who have alexithymia; has any form of journalling ever worked for you?
i've tried a few times, but i just end up writing physical sensations (usually the same vague ones) and concrete thoughts (in the event that i can actually put it into words outside my head). being consistent with it is difficult bc of uni, but i've been journalling on and off for the past eight/nine years and i dont think ive gotten any closer to making sense of anything or learning to recognize my emotions. idk if maybe i'm doing it 'wrong', but i'd love to hear other people's experiences
(sidenote; i cant answer replies as this is a sideblog, but i'll read them!)
So.. they laughed at my new name. My friends laughed at the name I finally felt comfortable using. Now I feel stupid and humiliated and I'm not sure I made the right choice.
