Why are you here? by traumacure

You have a talent for conveying what others struggle to. Whether it be through actions or words, communication is undeniably your strong suit. You are considered incredibly thoughtful by those around you. Perhaps you have been called eloquent, profound, or insightful. People probably often ask your thoughts, because you have a unique knack for making sense of things. You make the abstract tangible, the esoteric intelligible, the nebulous understandable. You bring into reach what many otherwise couldn't grasp. People seek you out when they seek to understand what's beyond them. You have the unique ability to give a voice and a presence to sentiments others are unable to express. This is incredibly precious. You see, this universe is not something that makes sense on its own—it must be made sense of. For the purpose of comprehending our own existence, we dream up languages, artforms, sciences, philosophies, and religions in an attempt to describe and explain what we witness. By voicing what we perceive, we make the universe take shape. Communication is essential to everything we understand. That is how meaning is constructed from the formless static noise collected by our senses. It may feel as if you are merely an observer of life, a spectator inessential to the world you watch, but people like you couldn't be more necessary. The things you voice become real and accessible through your ability to communicate them. You aren't here just to thoughtlessly watch the world pass you by—your existence is one that connects the pieces of an otherwise incomprehensible picture. The connections we can't live without live and breathe through you. Every time you understand someone and make yourself understood, you are participating in the construction of reality. But be careful—your ability to communicate so effectively gives you unrivaled potential to manipulate. Even that which begins as a falsehood can become reality if it is repeated enough times by enough people. What is spoken into existence cannot always be taken out so easily—so use your voice wisely. Remember: you're here to help us understand where here is.

Glad I'm not the only one who just feels weird from the sidelines.

I actually have been thinking and...  I want to provide some perspective. 

•People on tumblr (and actually almost anyone else that isnt menhera themselves) have unfairly judged menhera and accused our community of romanticizing or fetishizing mental illness in the past

•I think naturally, as a sort of defense mechanism, we as a community have gotten used to trying to gatekeep and prevent things that are "anti-recovery" such as irl self harm and gore from being put in the menhera tag, as we believe that those contribute to the stereotype. We also just want the tags to be accurate so that people will know what menhera looks like!

 (I think most menhera users have only been introduced to traumacore by seeing traumacore posts that may be seen as unsafe for us in the menhera tag, giving some a bad impression. This should not be indicative of the traumacore community as a whole, just like self harm in the menhera tag isn’t indicative of us!)

•I can see why menheratic disagreed with traumacure’s idea that menhera is ‘making ugly things cute’ because this could be construed as romanticizing mental illness. While I see the need to distance the movement from this idea, I also see traumacure’s point. Both communities face the wrong generalizations that people who look normal and put together aren’t sick enough, and at the same time, suffering can be aesthetic or trendy. We both have to fight these assumptions and accusing either one of perpetuating these is just incorrect and unhelpful. But instead of a civil discussion, it was escalated into something it never should have been. 

•This isn’t the first time menhera tumblr has gone too far over a simple disagreement. People got lovelylor to basically swear off menhera forever because menheratic got into an argument with them.  And because of that simple disagreement in a word choice, she was FLOODED with messages and mean comments and just took all her posts down. Honestly, that was probably a direct result of menheratic’s aggressive attitude and bad faith arguments. They speak as if they have absolute authority and villainize whoever they’re talking to. They come off as very rude and condescending when they could be calmly educating. No wonder some people think we’re exclusionary or elitist. 

Looking back, I have been guilty of this as well. I think we can all do better. Let’s try to be open to criticism and communicate in good faith. If anyone wants to discuss this further, my askbox is open.

since i've entirely given up trying to keep this blog fully separate and untraceable from my vent blog bc i've realized there's no one who has my main that i'd actually care about finding my vent blog i'm just gonna come out and say i'm way more active on @traumacure these days if any of my mutuals and/or friends here care enough about keeping up with me that they wanna follow my vent blog where i post weird poetry excerpts and deranged vents and the occasional pretentious uquiz to spice things up

#this blog just hasn't been as fulfilling for me to run for a while #for lack of a better word my persona here is too fake and constructed there's no real satisfaction in any praise it receives #it feels terribly vapid and shallow at this point in life whereas my vent blog feels much more authentic #i act much too insincere here i've just been trying to be a ~funny~ and ~cool~ tumblr user rather than who i really am #i honestly have found my vent blog a much more fulfilling experience to run bc i never tried to pander to anyone there #i just post what i want and ironically people seem to like that better than when i'm trying to be likable #that blog has way more followers at this point lmao #it seems the true self is more loved than the false self constructed for the sole purpose of amassing surface level love... #if only i had learned that sooner in life #oh well you live and learn that's the only way to do it #bee babbles

What emotion do you create from? by traumacure

You create from loneliness. There has always been a disconnect between yourself and others that you've never known how to breach. You want companionship, but it seems like something that just wasn't meant for you. With no one to confide in, you turn to art instead. Your loneliness lays the backdrop for all you create. There is a sense of frigid isolation that pervades your work, because that is the place it is created from. You pour out your heart and soul into your art because you do not know where else to put it. Art is an indirect avenue of connection. To understand another's art, to feel understood by another's art, is a way of connecting to each other across time and space. In creating and consuming art, you remember that you, too, are human.
