i got busy with work and school. hope you are all doing well.
@XanIndigo oh this is awesome, thank you!
however, i do still feel... weird... hesitant about it. on twitter or any other platform, there is comfort in yelling into the void. nobody to see your writing leaves no anxiety about being seen and perceived. but here? you all seem very... established, experienced. it is both inspirational AND scary. a beautiful petrifying mix.

i dont know if others engage with this sort of content, but every once in a while when im scrolling tiktok, i'll stumble upon a tarot card reading. they call out "if this is on your fyp, its meant for you."

i always struggle to believe them, it seems undoubtedly like an algorithmic ploy. still, i suspend disbelief almost every time, receiving some message.

one that really stuck with me was fear of being an amateur was holding me back. so here i am. doing the thing. trying to embrace it.

@candlelightediting guess editors jobs aren't threatened just yet! LOL.
i dont really write poetry. i dont know what im doing. but hanging out on this server, you all make me want to mess around, try it out, embrace being an amateur.
the messages that find me
are they delusion or divine?
do they appearing at the just right time?
guidance towards some purpose?
or a diversion of the mind
a mockery of some future imagined corpus.

@MichaelMammay ummm... i was hoping you knew if we were allowed???? 😬
@tlipfert friend advice is good. otherwise id be REALLY hard on it. thank you theo!!
good morning all! quick question: how do you avoid the descent into an anxious, panic driven mental hellscape during the editing process. especially if its on a tight deadline... asking for a friend...
