self-worth, creation 

I think i’m actually starting to understand that my standing as a creator (nor my worth as a person) is not particularly tied to my output.

self-worth, creation 

i received a piece of gift art a while ago for a story i wrote two genders and a species ago and that’s been a pleasant little worm in my brain.
I don’t think i’ve ever actually thought through the fact that my works don’t just exist during the time I make them, and that way, way more people than I understand have seen them.

self-worth, tonal whiplash summing up my mental state these days, yes i know it’s more nuanced than that 

i’m really glad to be feeling this stuff now and hope that half my country decides not to vote to kill me, my friends, and countless other people in a few weeks

it’s really weird recovering with a condition (PTSD) that makes it pretty imperative that i stay calm and grounded during a time where that feels like a borderline illogical thing to do

self-worth, re: tonal whiplash 

honestly, I could use some affirmation that it’s okay for me to feel happy on some level, because it just feels gross to me every single time i take the tone

@Oneironott It is okay to be happy; no adult is going to notice it then do something to put you back in place or anything like that, if that's what you're feeling.
