I Am Who I Am

[ID copied from alt: A sketch of Qifrey’s and Olruggio’s hands. Olruggio is caressing it gently, touching the silverwood leaves that are sprouting, one of his fingers getting inside Qifrey’s sleeve; his hand is outside the frame, nearer to the viewer, while Qifrey’s remains inside. The frame surrounding them is a night sky. End ID]

by the fourth or fifth time you "come back wrong" no ones even impressed anymore

my problem is if i enjoy something enough i will be nitpicking. i Will have things to say about where and how it failed. out of nothing but love straight from my heart. unfortunately this often makes me indistinguishable from a hater who has never experienced joy or kindness. such is the amateur critic's burden.

i love you archival work. i love you alphabetizing. i love you sorting. i love you reshelving. i love you document restoration. i love you shelf reading. i love you inventorying. i love you analysis. i love you archival work.

I will be forgiven for any atrocities I commit because I am very cute and funny ❤❤

whenever i get envious because someone i know scored a big career win i take a deep breath and remind myself that although i deserve it more and would do a better job, they probably got it by nefarious means that i would never stoop to

[ID Start: a digital illustration of multiple hamsters around and on a round rainbow cake. The cake has white frosting and a slice has been cut out on the side showing the seven tiers of the cake are individual colors of a rainbow; there is also a chunk taken out of the bottom. A white hamster leans up against the exposed inners of the cake, asleep, and in front the cake is a grey hamster eating the missing chunk. On top of the cake are three hamsters: one brown and tan who looks down over the edge of the cake, a grey one who is holding up a Progress Pride Flag, and a tan one that looks up at the flag in a half-standing pose. Artist signature is bottom right. /End ID.]

practicing self care less out of self love and more for the sheer logical reasoning of it’d be kinda stupid of me to expect myself to be able to function without proper maintenance

“oh i don’t deserve rest and relaxation, i haven’t done enough, i haven’t earned it” and my car’s breaks don’t deserve break fluid because they aren’t breaking well enough to earn it. that’s what you sound like!!!!!
