He shouldn't have done that with his badge. It wasn't like the old days. He had responsibilities. He should've stayed on and made things just a little less--
No. That never worked.

Disabled!Eddie Drabble
In which Eddie gets tired. (This was therapeutic to write.)
Words: 300
Warnings: none
Eddie was halfway across the bars when his elbows locked and he fell. Steve caught him fast, his arms tight around Eddie’s chest.
“I gotchu. There we go. You want a rest?”
“Yeah.”
Steve carried Eddie over to the chair and set him down. It wasn’t until he stepped back that Steve noticed the tears coursing down Eddie’s cheeks.
“Eddie, baby, are you hurt?”
Eddie shook his head.
“No. No, just a cramp.”
“You need the roller?”
Eddie had been doing physical therapy every day for two years now, so Steve knew the drill. Monday Wednesday Friday they did standard muscle building. Tuesday and Thursday Eddie did walking lessons.
Eddie just shook his head.
“I’m okay.”
“Tell me what you need.”
“I’m just… I’m so tired of trying, Stevie.”
“I know.” Steve brushed Eddie’s hair out of his face. I know.”
“I think I might… I might be done.”
“Okay. Let’s take a break. Ice cream?”
“I mean done for good.”
Steve went very still.
“Done with what, exactly?”
“Done with trying to walk. I think… I might just never do it.” Eddie’s chin crumpled and tears filled his eyes. “I’m sorry, I want to, but it’s just— I’m tired.”
Steve cupped Eddie’s face in his hands.
“If that’s what you want, I support you.”
“Would you— would you still love me— if I was in a wheelchair forever?”
“Yes.” Steve’s answer was fast and certain. “Yes, of course.”
“Would you love me if I could never walk with you, or go up or down stairs, or use regular public toilets?”
“Absolutely.”
“You wouldn’t… resent me for quitting?”
“Eddie. I love you. And I will always love you. If you keep going, great. But I see the pain you’re in.” He kissed Eddie gently. “You’re always going to be my hero.”

I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT
I’m writing this before I hit 3,000 followers. Which is getting close and I’m very thankful but I have to be honest with you all. I’m not happy with what I do on here or in life in general.
I would like to think that majority of you care specifically about me or what I have to say/create but it’s quite literally the opposite. Unless it’s astrology majority of you don’t really care. Which is completely fair. I understand you followed me for astrology but I just don’t think I’m interested in posting about it anymore. And I’m not very interested in the community anymore. I would like an audience and a community that cares more about me and the stuff I actually want to create. I don’t care how selfish that sounds, it’s what I want.
Anyone who’s been paying attention can see that my true passion belongs to the entertainment side of things. And it’s harder to build an audience when what you’re offering is yourself. I’ve enjoyed being faceless and under a fake- ish name but now I’m no longer that, which means a new chapter for me. I’ve had this account for almost a year now and I’m extremely unhappy in life. I used to come here to escape but it doesn’t work for me anymore. Posting feels more like a chore instead of what I used to enjoy. Especially when I know that some of you mostly only care about astrology stuff and not who’s making the post for you.
So yeah, I’m quitting this side of tumblr. I won’t be deleting this account but don’t expect anything new from me after My Astrological Beauty post once I hit 3,000. I’m not particularly happy to do this but I know I need to. It’s a distraction that’s lasted too long. I’m so unhappy, dissatisfied and on the verge of breakdowns everyday it’s not even funny anymore and it’s sad is that nobody could really tell. I have a lot to process and to plan but I know eliminating what doesn’t fulfill me anymore is a good start.
So sorry to those expecting more from me here but Evangelinesbible is no longer interested in this chapter in her life. It’s your choice if you want to stay on this chapter or move on with Sydney Mykah instead. But know I’ll never forget who was supporting me from the very beginning.💋

announcement pls read fully.
hello everybody this is going to be a post that I’m sure a lot of people will not want to hear.
I love everybody that have been supporting me since day one it’s almost been three years since I started my Tumblr journey and I think my story writing is coming to an end.
Once again, I want to say that I appreciate all of the love and support that I have gotten from everybody on Tumblr. Not once have I ever received a hate comment or a negative comment.
but unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be writing stories anymore This is nobody’s fault, and this has nothing to do with anybody. I just simply no longer take a joy in making posts at first I did it because I loved it and now for me it kind of just feels like I’m pushing myself to make post for people just to make them happy and completely disregarding my own feelings.
I’m sorry if this seems selfish and I hope everybody understands I am deeply sorry I might occasionally make posts but trust me it’s not going to be often at all.
I will still be keeping all of my old posts up if anybody wants to go and see them.
i’ll see everybody in the next post bye now

SloMo WriNo: Why Are You Doing This?
And do you really want to?
Tumblr media
So it’s February.
The time when all those plans and goals made in a burst of rosy optimism have met the cold realities of daily life.
If you’ve found your groove, and are making progress on your writing, I congratulate you!
But for many people the beautiful goals set in late December have become a tiresome burden by early February.
So it’s time to take stock.
And seriously ask yourself— Why are you doing this anyway?
Reality check. Writing a novel might be something you’ve dreamed of doing for many years. It might be on your bucket list. It might have some golden sheen of self fulfillment, or feel like the creation of a personal legacy.
But if the reality of daily (or frequent) writing is proving to be unpleasant, you might be second guessing all of that. Or the mundanity of actually writing it has you dodging your writing sessions more often than not.
What to do?
Firstly I have to say that you are allowed to quit. And if you really aren’t enjoying the daily (or near daily) process of showing up and putting words on a page, then there’s no reason to force yourself to continue.
Many, many people live happy and fulfilling lives without ever writing a novel. And you might be one of them. If that’s the case, you will be much happier if you’re honest with yourself about putting aside this dream, instead of castigating yourself for your continued failure.
It might feel really scary to let of of the idea.
But you’re allowed to do that. I give you permission. Try viewing it as simply making room to move forward with other hobbies or goals.
There’s no moral superiority of a novel over other forms of writing, like short or flash fiction, poetry, fanfic, or writing your own rpg. If there’s a niche of writing that you truly enjoy, allow yourself to do that and let go of all the ‘should be’.
Taking things further, there’s no moral value attached to writing that makes it superior to any other hobbies either. (And if me using the word hobby here gives you some sort of flinch then that’s something to think about too.) If you quit writing to focus on drawing, or knitting or building Lego kits, then that’s not only good, it’s great that you’ve found something you really enjoy. Writing will always be here to return to if you feel the inclination.
This is probably not what you expected to hear from me this morning, but more than anything I want you to enjoy the process of writing. And if you’re not? Really think about if you want to write a novel, or if you just like the idea of it. And give yourself permission to quit.
Now that all said, what happens now?
If after some contemplation you realize you do still truly want to write a novel, then it’s time to think about how to continue. Especially if you’re struggling. Or drowning.
I want to help you get a handle on what’s really going on.
Meanwhile, I’d like it if you can tell me about any particular challenges you’re facing, or obstacles that I haven’t discussed before.
But most of all, keep trying, adjusting, and trying again. It will get easier if you persist long enough.
—Maree
