As I get older I’m starting to let go of the guilty urge to build permanent habits. Like, a while ago I decided I would start jumping rope every day. I did it for like three weeks and felt good about it. Then I got bored, because of course I did, because I’m a human person. So now I do a bit of kickboxing because that’s what I like now. The other week I cut all sugar from my diet, just for a week, to challenge myself. Now I’m back to eating sweets but I don’t crave them as much.
Growth is about stretching, trying new things, and setting small, realistic goals for yourself, not picking a “good habit” you’ve decided you will be doing always and forever from now on. That’s not discipline. That’s pointless self-torture and unhealthy resistance to change.
What’s good for you today will not necessarily be what’s good for you tomorrow.

New idea: instead of writing the fic, you come over to my house and I tell you the entire plot while I pace my tiny kitchen. There’s a cup of tea, warm in your hands. The words don’t stop and the affection never leaves your expression.

society if everyone learned that just because you personally haven't witnessed or experienced something doesn't mean it isn't real

life's too short to write for an imaginary critic that you fear will hate what you wrote

not people thinking they can escape heartache. avoiding it at all cost is itself a form of it

do you ever get that thing when you’re thinking of a fic in your head and it’s so beautiful to you but it would cost you too much to write it and too much fighting with yourself to put on paper, so it just continually spins around like one of those 3D renders until the end of time
