love and kindness are more important than hatred. you must love things more than you hate things if you want to be happy. you must be kind to other people if you want other people to be happy. there is so much more to life and the world than constant hatred and anger. treat others how you wish to be treated.

it's okay to do meaningless things for fun. it's important that you do things that feel good and feel fun for you. having fun and relieving stress is a form of self-care. not everything you do needs to have some important or serious meaning attached to it. it's good to relax.

reason to live #37: because you deserve to live

like i can’t express how much hope it gives me seeing other people’s niche obsessions or ship content or whatever even if it’s “fandomslop” or already existing characters it’s so much better than making nothing i have to tell myself this repeatedly YOU HAVE TO MAKE THINGS EVEN IF THEY’RE STUPID AND “BAD” PLEASE DON’T EVER STOP. YOU KNOW WHY BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE THEM. DO YOU KNOW HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS TO LOVE LIKE THIS

Artists that don't do artfight all sitting in dark dingy bar together and wordlessly exchanging glances forlornly

every so often they will invent roblox games that you have never heard of that every single person on your dash has played and loved

Coding should be able to backfire like magic. Some guy in a polo shirt messes up an equation and turns blue. Person in the coffee shop next to you forgets a semicolon and suddenly they're an inch tall and eternally moving left. You get it.

all i'm saying is that if the only lens you can enjoy a story or a character dynamic through is romance and shipping, then well. your media analysis skills are just kinda shit actually. and i'm not sorry for saying it. you're missing the point of the story in question and removing the things that make it unique by shoving everything into boxes. not everything goes in the square hole.

Having your interests mocked as a kid and general low self esteem will have you insulting the things you like even when they're generally considered very good. Because you like it, and historically when you like something it's stupid and not worth anyone's time. So you will say nonsense like "I recommend this book/game/film, but it's okay if you hate it, it sucks, I really enjoyed it but that's because I'm an idiot" and you are recommending them the Citizen fucking Kane of that particular media type. And importantly: you need to stop doing this it is killing you
