“nobody is making you do this” i am driven by unnatural forces you will never even begin to comprehend
i miss everything all the time but whatever
Endlessly diabolical how you can't say words like rape and suicide uncensored without either being criticised by idiots or punished by conglomerates.
It's not r*pe, it's rape. It's not su*cide, it's suicide. Not unalive, dead. The backbone needs to be reintroduced en masse because softening the blow of these concepts with advertising language does absolutely nothing but allow people unaffected by them to feel not even a sting of what they can do, prompting inaction.
And it's been proven that on certain websites, you don't even face a repercussion for using the words as they are. People just started censoring themselves because they feared the potential lack of views and likes and followers which is so nasty itself.
I attended an anti-suicide seminar in college. One of the big takeaways from it was that stigmatizing suicide increases the rate of suicide, because people who are feeling suicidal feel like they can't ask for help. Every time I see babytalk garbage like 'unalive', I think of that.
Use the real words. Words have power, and they matter.
Human relationships are not transactional but they are reciprocal, which I think many of you with your ‘i don’t owe anyone anything’ shtick are too happy to forget
Fanfiction exists for TWO reasons:
- Dealing with complex thoughts and emotions I can't work through in therapy, like grief, despair, a complicated relationship with pain and addiction
- Seeing the same characters fuck over amd over again
i swear my consequences dont even have actions

self sabotage is weird because what do you mean i make myself miserable and i'm aware of it but don't know how to stop.
I feel like a lot of people are using the terms “bed-rotting” and “rest” interchangeably and I think that’s a huge problem. If you’re so tired you need a day in bed to just relax and do nothing you’re not rotting, you’re resting. You need rest. You were not designed to be on the go 24/7 but modern society expects this of us for some reason.
literally everyone is capable of perpetuating misogyny it comes free with living in a misogynistic society i don’t know why this is difficult
