No.
I have to stop treating myself like a never-ending self improvement project and start treating myself like a healing, learning, and growing human with feelings.
Yes, self improvement is okay. You should always want better for yourself. But, there is no reason to always feel like something is wrong and always needs fixing. At some point, you must learn to give yourself some form of grace and acceptance.

The hope, that you may never read these words.
The fear, that you may never read these words.
If I promise to not call it love. Do you promise to stop asking me to let you go?
You don't love her. If you did, you'd be with her
Yet you wither
Either wasting time,
Or doing so little
All the years that pass
Filled with moments
That would've should've could've
If only we weren't ourselves
Pathetic
Kalmoah is at the bottom. And loosing. The funny thing is. It's the most toxic relationship in fiction. Hannigram and destiel got nothing on kalmoash in terms of toxicity. Maybe it will Win a toxicity poll. This goes to show how few people know about it. Will explore it in the next post.
Let the war begin
Those who need it.
Writing Tips
Punctuating Dialogue
✧
➸ “This is a sentence.”
➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.
➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”
➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”
➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”
➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”
➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.
“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.
“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”
➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”
➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”
However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!
➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.
If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)
➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“
“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.
➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.
➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”
➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.
“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”
➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.
“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

When the Gods came to the Great wolf
Fenrir
He must have thought it just another day
Bright and grand
He must have thought it a game
These were the people who had raised him
And there was Tyr
his friend
They bind him He broke free
He must have rejoiced in his victory
Then the gods came again With different chains
Doubt would have taken hold But he must have ignored it
Bolstering his resolve in his strength thinking
He had nothing to fear
Since Tyr was there
But when the gods
Brought forth the cords
He must have sensed something amiss
This was no game
They wanted something from him
He must have recalled The fleeting hateful stares
But he also must have also remembered
How he played with Tyr
He would not let anything Happen to him
He must have cursed himself
For doubting his friend
For asking for Tyr's hand
But what is done is done he couldn’t go back
And now I sit and wonder
When the wolf couldn't break the cords
Did he pause?
Did Tyr know what would happen?
And offered his flesh regardless?
Or Maybe In guild for what was going to happen to his friend?
What he had caused?
There must have been A moment
When the great wolf pled
Hoping that he would be saved by his friend
Or maybe he wished for Tyr to pull back his hand?
And now I think
That when the wolf bit down
Maybe it wasn't from anger
Maybe it was from sorrow
His friend had made his choice
So maybe he bit
So the blood would hide his tears
Tyr was there
And he had betrayed him
Wish them healing—after I'm done fucking them up.
“Never wish them pain. That’s not who you are. If they caused you pain they must have pain inside. Wish them healing.”
— Najwa Zebian
There are total 4 different mindsets. Tho only two get expressed here since the other two have other outlets.
Reblog this and put in the tags what you think your role is in your fandom.
She will never love you back.
It's not about gaining her love, It's about giving her all the love she deserves.
And then more.
