I feel kind of ridiculous for writing this, but I almost always feel out of place. Like if I open up to people or reveal things that are even slightly embarrassing about me, it'll end badly.
Sometimes when I'll have a negative reaction to things many other people seem to like, I'll spend hours trying to confirm that I'm not in the wrong for having those feelings. Being away from this hellsite and other social media has helped (especially since so many people seem to go off on anyone who doesn't agree with them 100% of the time), but other than avoiding things that trigger those feelings, I'm not sure how to work on this.
Twst has me conflicted because I get so hype thinking about what the next month will bring, and then I remember no I don’t want next month to come so soon because it means grad school starts again and comprehensive exams and reading 5+ books and writing 5+ papers is just around the corner
Faced with the pronouns question again last night & it sent me back into that whirlwind of evaluation
She still feels dirty and tainted. She was used in a way that felt like insult after insult in the midst dastardly deliberate ways. She feels wrong to use without the proper cleaning and restorative efforts that i don't have right now.
He feels yucky. He was used far more gently and kindly. He was used with all the love and care in mind. But he was never enough, and it was no one's fault that I couldn't stand him anymore. I outgrew him.
They feel truly neutral. I don't love them. I dont despise them. We are two beings that work well together and will never be anything more. And that's okay. I don't need every relationship to be something strong. Sometimes i need something to rely on when everything else feels wrong, and they are that. But i still feel weird for using them exclusively in ways hard to describe.
It feels like one day it may be they/she. But i have a lot of internal healing to do before I'm ready to accept that. Much less test it out.
Haven stop posting an update to your fic the night before I have a test challenge (failed miserably)
Aka read the new chapter of a new place to be from (I cannot. Because, again, I have a test tomorrow morning,,,) but I'm absolutely certain it's good !!!!!!
