I'M A GOOD WRITER?????

I just reada really good fic but halfway through I realized "oh shit this is really familiar.... didn't I write something like this once?" And as I kept reading I kept predicting what happened next and the further I went the more convinced I was that they'd ripped off my story-

like, copied the ENTIRE plot and re-written it, just better than I had? The characters were more fleshed-out than mine were, and the POV was more interesting, and the pace made more sense- but it was MY STORY?

So close to the end I was like "holy shit.. do I message them? Ask if my story inspired theirs? Should I be angry? Flattered?" Cause their tags and description didn't mention me AT ALL, which, sure, it's fanfiction to begin with, but if you're using my work than at least credit me as inspo, right? Just to be courteous?

But I get to the end of the final chapter, and it's not finished, and I'm kind of disappointed cause I never finished my story and I was really immersed in their version now and had been looking forwards to seeing how they tied up my loose ends- so I scroll to the bottom to leave a comment, and.

It's MY URL.

IT WAS MY STORY THE WHOLE TIME.

THE ONE *I WROTE*.

In *2013*.

And FORGOT ABOUT

BECAUSE I WAS SO INSECURE ABOUT MY SLOPPY, SHALLOW, AMETEUR WRITING

And I'm just sitting here now staring into space thinking about every shitty story I've ever written now like

IT WAS ALL GOOD?

I Just Reada Really Good Fic But Halfway Through I Realized "oh Shit This Is Really Familiar.... Didn't

IT WAS GOOD THIS WHOLE DAMN TIME??

I hate that no one talks about just how distressing memory loss from adhd actually is. I always see memes that are like “haha I forgot my phone, I don’t remember where my laptop is, etc”, but no one seems to talk about how it can really fuck you up long term to just, not remember things that are completely mundane to non-adhd’ers. The memory loss is, however, so frustrating to us. I cannot physically count how many meltdowns I have had over the sheer mental frustration and torture of not being able to remember seemingly simple things

I went to Amsterdam without you

And all I could do was think about you

And, oh, I should've known

I went to Tokyo to let it go

Drink after drink but I still felt alone

I should've known

I went to so many places

Looking for you in the faces

I could feel it

Oh, I could feel it

I'm wasting my time when it was always you, always you

Chasing the high but it was always you, always you

Should've never let you go, oh-oh

Should've never let you go, my baby

Go, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I went from LAX to Heathrow

Walk through my door but it felt nothing like home

'Cause you're not home

Waiting to wrap your legs around me

And I know you hate to smoke without me and, oh

Now you know

I'm wasting my time when it was always you, always you

Chasing the high but it was always you, always you

Should've never let you go, oh-oh

Should've never let you go, my baby

Go, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Should've never let you go, oh-oh

Should've never let you go, my baby

Go, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I went to so many places

Looking for you in the faces

I could feel it

Oh, I could feel it

Wasting my time when it was always you, always you

I was chasing the high but it was always you, always you

Should've never let you go, oh-oh

Should've never let you go, my baby

Go, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Should've never let you go, oh-oh

Should've never let you go, my baby

Go, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

My baby

Oh, my baby

I've been calling my reps every day and I saw, it might have been your post actually, but I saw a call to demand an end to occupation as opposed to a permanent ceasefire. I'm also seeing other Palestinians still calling for a permanent ceasefire. Today I urged for both, but I wanted to ask if you have time and you think it's worth addressing if you think it splits the target of the demand too much? Thank you so much.

Please do call for a permanent ceasefire!!! The specific bill proposed especially!

Feel free to say that you demand an end to the occupation but please, please, please do still ask for the ceasefire one because that one already has political support.

We can ask for both! We need them to stop killing and displacing the people in Gaza but please also ask for an end to the occupation so that the people in the West Bank aren't harmed either!

There is not a bill (to my knowledge, other than resolution 888) that talks about an end to supporting the occupation, but do still demand an end to it, maybe specifying resolution 888! And an end to the military aid of 14.3 billion dollars to israel!!

I would recommend making different calls tho for each one.
