#emotions suck

I’m legitimately spilling tears over the last update. I am a mom, and going through labor is terrifying. Wonderful for what’s to come, but terrifying. So having it depicted in the middle of a war zone, where the outcome is unclear at best? Such a beautiful visual picture of how that experience can often feel. Maybe I’m reading super deeply into it, being 34 and all and starting to feel those experiences in a different way as I get older, but the unspoken parallels really did it for me.
And the sweet tenderness the brothers have? Just sobbing. Goodness, I am suppose to be working right now and instead I’m having a breakdown at how gorgeous this all is.
Really amazing work, Kat, I just love this so much.
And an additional side note- I am so glad you’ve been taking your time and allowing your body to heal and I’m hoping you are feeling so much better.
That means so much to me to hear! I really want to do right by all who have gone through child birth. It is both beautiful and terrifying and can still be quite dangerous even in this modern day and age. I have so much respect for those who choose to have children and I feel they’re not given the praise deserving of being absolute miracle workers.
I’m just glad to know that this little project can help put a small spotlight on just how special people like you are!
And thank you, there’s a lot going on right now so just trying to keep my head above water through it all! Just keep swimming!

i dont know why but i have a really difficult time telling the differences between emotions and which emotion im feeling(i probably do actually its most likely my autistic ass doing that) so it can get me so upset and confused because I DONT FUCKING KNOW WHAT IM FEELING and that creates problems between me and other people because apparently people just know whatever the fuck they are feeling when they are feeling it and not have to spend days overthinking it and get angry at me because i cant do the same and that also means a shit ton of people take advantage of me and i dont know till awhile after and then i dont even know how i feel about that

Insomniac
“Sleep is important”
I always say
Should take my advice
One these days
But the nights grow later
The inbetween draws thinner
Tear stained pillows
Sweat dampened sheets
Even in the cold of winter
And these savings dwindle
The lists grow bigger
Therapist got me left on read
And oh this dread
Rears ugly head
Mirror eyes
To a time I despise
“You should sleep”
I know I must
Tho even if I could
Don’t think I would
Insomniac got me up so high
And I don’t think I can come down
This 8 to 9 cycle of nights
Oh I hate it and I love it
I really should sleep darling I know
But really its better this way
Oh I lie down this soft plush grave
Till it takes me
I’ve chosen my poison
Addict to my slow decay
Till it takes me away

Jaskier staring at Geralt
Jaskier: "Geralt punch me I need to cry"
Geralt alarmed and would never hurt his bard : "What no why?"
Jaskier actually more emotionally represed then his dear witcher "I feel to much and crying will make it better but my body won't let me"
Geralt who is extremely concerned and going into hug Jaskier and pet his head: "no"
(Lowkey Geralt is @raerae132 but they would also force me to watch sad things to make me feel better)

They are on their knees in my heart, chained and weeping,
they are begging to be on stage,
to prance and dance, yet only a select few are chosen.
The others rot and wither,
their cries unheard.

"There are no excuses." "If they just put in more effort, if they just find the right motivation, anyone can achieve success." "All you need to do is to put in the work."
...
No. That's not how it works.
Some of us can't do those things no matter how hard we try.
And it's not for a lack of trying.
...
Some of us try really damn hard.
...
But no matter how passionately we're driven, no matter how badly we may want it, we just don't have that skill.
Some of us are born with that. And we give them the world, when they already have so much more than the rest of us could ever hope for.
And some of us can't seem to do anything right.
No matter how fucking hard we try.
...
And we're told we're garbage. That we're useless. We're thrown away and tossed aside.
And we're given nothing but pain, despite working just as hard as they do.
...
But that's okay. Because success does not equate to happiness.
That comes from within.
...
Right...?
...
...
And yet.
If that were the case...
Why is it so damn hard to be happy when you're the only one who sees your worth?
Your opinion should be the only one that matters.
Should.
But it isn't.
Because you can't do anything you should.
...
Some people have to win the gold medal in the Olympics to feel like they've accomplished something. And the whole world cheers for them.
Some of us work just as hard simply to do a single essay. And we feel like we've jumped over just as large of a hurdle.
But no one cheers for us.
Instead of praise, all we get is disappointment and disapproval. Because "there's still so much more we have to do." Because we're just "lazy."
...
But a lazy person derives pleasure from not doing things. A lazy person is actually able to get up and do the things expected of them, at any time, but simply chooses not to.
We don't make that choice.
We don't enjoy it.
We beat ourselves up about it every damn night. We cry ourselves to sleep, wishing we were "better," wishing every day that we could possibly be good enough for them.
...
This isn't okay.
We need to change the way we look at people.
We need to not discredit just how hard even the littlest things can be.
We need understanding.
Compassion.
Love.
...
Not all of us are Niel Degrasse Tyson.
Not all of us are Olympians.
But we shouldn't have to be.

After going through one of the most stressful online situations in my life so far, I recently discovered that I have rejection sensitivity dysphoria.
The moment I read through the symptoms and saw the connections, I had many emotions rushing through me. A part of me felt relieved as I at least got an explanation for my emotional outbursts. I struggled to regulate my emotions for the longest time, easily getting extremely nervous or bust into tears over the slightest amount of negativity, rejection, or even criticism. This resulted in a LOT of people ending up being annoyed and irritated by my actions including former friends, and even my parents. I always knew this was not normal, but all I ever got was "There was nothing wrong with you, just stop crying." At least I know the source of my issues and know to work from there.
On the other hand, I am kind of upset and irritated that I have to live with years worth of creating shitty mistakes, embarrassing myself, and even ruining relationships when I had so much time to recognize and fix those mistakes.
I can't undo the mistakes I did in the past, but I can at least focus on the now, and make the effort to focus on the now. I may be stubborn about it, but I am going to take the time to improve my emotional regulation, even if it's going to be a long and tiring process.

This is the second time that I have looked up the definition of words I thought would help me figure out how I'm feeling and this is the second time I have failed

Splinters
The trees have eyes
Oh what they did see
The ghost of your touch
Lurks in their leaves
The words from your lips
Faded carvings in their rings
Trees saw through me
But they did not speak
Stood tall bore witness
Through everything
Didn’t shift roots even slightly
Standing by
Fake empathy
All the eyes looked simply to see
And the silence transcended the trees

I think the biggest misunderstanding I see when people write extremely emotional characters is that they have them profess these emotions from the rooftops and they do it articulately. People who feel too much that they drown in it don’t know how to express their emotions, and they’re afraid to. They’re afraid to feel them, identify them...let alone tell someone else. So romance is not going to be verbally direct. It’s going to be internal. Maybe more actions than words, but that can depend too. You can make that part of their character development if you’d like, but it won’t be an immediate thing. Emotions are like pulling teeth.
