Felt like being more authentic to myself, whatever the consequences
I've been manipulated by too many people over the years. And I know I will express opinions that aren't mainstream or popular. Heck, I only realized my true feelings for a character long after the peak of her popularity ended. But honestly? That's okay. It means I'm not chasing trends with her. Always felt like I was being challenged on being my true self. Often, I failed. I still wonder if I'm succeeding now. Still, I suppose it begins with me posting some unpopular opinions on fiction. I've never really felt like I belonged in any one group. Granted, Tumblr isn't what it used to be, so maybe this isn't the best place to post everything I wanna post. But that's okay. I have come to realize I value authenticity. I may post something I commissioned from a convention here despite the muted reaction elsewhere. But that will be its own post. For now...I feel like I need to be authentic.
What I posted prior to this may not necessarily be representative of the person I am now. And that's okay by me...but now I'm just debating what to do going forward. Make a new blog? We will see.
