and i rock the universe

shane doesn’t take his sports watch off during sex and ilya makes a habit of checking shane’s workout score on the watch to see how intense of a fuck they just had was. he tries to beat the score every time. one time shane’s watch starts vibrating and beeping because his heart rate is the highest it’s ever been because ilya is edging him for so long that when he cums he genuinely thinks he looses some brain cells from how hard it hits him and his watch is telling him “it’s time to take a break, shane!” and ilya high-fives himself when he reads it and shane is breathing so heavy and is covered in so much cum and the edges of his vision is still blurry but that sex just made him hit a new monthly workout score record so he’s pretty happy with how life is going at the moment

who taught you that suffering in silence was noble, and how would you shutting up have benefited them?

this also counts for all those times you kept your mouth shut and didn't complain because you were being polite, and people would gladly have changed things if you had just asked. your suffering was not noble. you do not get a cookie for it, you do not get a tally mark next to your soul's score for grinning and bearing it. your suffering serves no purpose. break free of it. you deserve comfort.

Self care is putting your face on a very soft titty.

hot take i think that a website being able to ban users for "no reason at all" is a very bad thing, all websites should be able to prove that a user has broken their guidelines or terms of service in order to ban them

if you work in a creative field...or if you do creative hobbies like writing or drawing...you need to make friends with people who don't do those things. you need to befriend normie Steve who has never written a story in his life. and this is because when you are in a creative job or hobby and spend all your time doing that thing, surrounded by very capable people, who you inevitably compare your own progress and skills to, you forget what the baseline human skill at that thing is. and it's usually zero. normie Steve has not written a story since the 3rd grade when his teacher made him do it. he's very good at other things that are not storytelling - but if you tell normie Steve that you wrote a full 300-page book from start to finish, he will think you're some kind of savant. he does not know ANYONE else who has done this. you need this perspective. because when you're constantly on Let's Write Stories dot Com then everyone on Let's Write Stories dot Com will inevitably be like "oh of course everyone on earth has written a book or several at this point!" and you canNOT let yourself think that. that is not even close to the average human experience. you are in a bubble. do not put yourself down. do not give up.
