That is so incredibly sweet. Your crush is a very lucky person. <3

I’ll be honest, it’s been a very long time since I wrote any “real” poetry and when I did I always used it as a way of writing without rules, constraints, or fear. I don’t know how much advice I would be able to give you other than telling you to just write. Think about how your crush makes you feel, things you love about them, how you would describe them, etc. then just write it. Try not to worry about writing a “perfect” poem. Perfection in any true art comes from the feelings and passion poured into the work, not an arbitrary set of rules and regulations.

Please, excuse me while I lay here and try not to cry. 

This is one of the best responses to a follow meme I’ve ever received. I’ll be totally honest and say that sometimes I get pretty down about the fact that my inbox stays pretty quiet when I reblog these silly memes. Taking it to mean that most people could not care less about me, my blog, my writing, etc. (which is more than likely true). But I would not trade any quantity of fair-weather followers for the quality ones, like yourself. 

I spent so long trying to keep a huge part of who I am hidden on this infernal website, so afraid of scaring people off. And when I started truly being myself, people did unfollow. Mutuals who claimed to be my friends all but vanished, continuing to follow me but never again acknowledging my existence in any way. But by finally showing all facets of myself I learned who the quality people are. Real people with good and honest hearts. People like you, anon. 

So thank you for following me. Thank you for staying. And, most of all, thank you for being you. The world needs far more truly good people like yourself.

‽ - I’m too shy to talk to you
