Last night I finally went through my ig followers list, and it felt so good to remove a BUNCH of people (200+). I had been avoiding that for a while now (I get a lot of anxiety when it comes to any sort of digital decluttering), but I really don’t need random people (especially men) watching my stuff,  and I finally did it. I’m hoping this helps me on my journey to a healthier relationship with social media (which to me means no more than 15 minutes a day on that platform). 
          	I no longer desire to be seen a certain way. I love who I am and I'm not ashamed of embracing my creativity. And truth be told, I don’t care about people’s business. I just want to genuinely engage with the people I actually keep in my circle, the ones I love seeing win and thrive. If there’s one thing I want to be, it’s that supporter. I’m gonna like, I’m gonna comment (maybe not always reply though lol, I get so overwhelmed with messages in general, lowkey wish we could go back to 160-character SMS or just call me if you need to talk).
          	There’s still more to work through, and some people I’m not fully ready to let go of yet, but, God, it feels good.

it’s so funny knowing people are still reading my fic when I can barely look at it anymore. it was such a journey writing it, and I’m definitely not the same person who started writing it

@kurdtapprentice it's gotta be tied with In the Sun as my favorite Kurt fic tbh. You employed so much emotion and beautiful imagery into it, I haven't cried over a fanfic like that in years ::sob:: I hope you continue to write, you're so talented :)

@kurdtapprentice whenever I reread it, I go through all of the emotions again. I love a story that can make me feel that way.

I am incredibly happy whenever I see any of you putting your stories out there. I've been away for a while (I love my job!) but this community feels like home, and I love reading y'alls work.
          ALSO feel free to leave a comment if you have released something recently-ish so I can go support and love it.

hope you're alright, miss hearing about faye and kurt.

@kurdtapprentice haha, thank you again, that means a lot to me. I try to make it sound twice as intelligent as I am, hopefully it is LMAO.
            
            And honestly, for me, the bigger the story, the better the rereading experience :) and that's relatable as hell, I'm probably going to re-edit lake of fire soon because it was done on a whim, and I've barely touched it as far as edits go. Same with New Year's Day—I have like half of it done and drafted, it's just not edited and looks incredibly sloppy lmao.
            
            I can't wait to see what else you put out after Faye and Kurt are finished (if you plan on it). You're a fantastic writer as well!!

@-spiderland thank you, I mean your work is brilliant so it's only fair! Lowkey I feel like my story was too big though, don't even bother re-reading it lol I ended up putting it out there without too much editing but it was a nice creative outlet for me
