I'm ProtoChan on AO3 and fanfiction.net, but do you want a more Jenna-ral idea of who I am? Great! I'm big, loud, liberal, bisexual, bigender, pun crazed, and utterly obsessed with so many fandoms! My present big fandom loves include Once Upon a Time, Portal, FE3H, The Owl House, Undertale, The MCU, Disney, The Good Place, B99, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and Ace Attorney, so send me a chat or an ask if you ever want to geek out about any of that! While I'm not without my shipping preferences (Captain Swan, Curious Archer, and Golden Hook are my favorites in OUAT, and I'm a Portal Multi-Shipper) there are few ships I don't like or at least respect, and I genuinely want every type of fan to feel welcome on my page. #CloverDeservedBetter
I genuinely think that any change in behavior starts w telling yourself that your worst days, worst performances, just worst moments in general aren’t who you “truly are.” It’s all about unlearning any thought process that essentially chalks up traits you aren’t proud of to “this is who I really am” “in reality I’m lazy” “in reality I’m just a bad person” bc not only is that never true, but it impedes your efforts to try to do better as well. Anything we struggle with has roots in things like childhood trauma, thoughts you’ve been fed before, your upbringing…. but never that you’re inherently a bad person. What I’m learning this year is that a lot of us doing better & being better & improving really comes down to self-talk—to disavowing the very notion that deep down we’re simply bad.
