so you dated the wrong person and learned a hard lesson. you chose the wrong major and had to start over again. you cherished a friend who backstabbed you. it sucks, but it’s also going to work out. that’s life; you learn, hurt, love, cry, laugh, and keep going. you experience setbacks and you grow and it’s all okay.
Anonymous murmured: Fuck, marry, kill the people who inspired I miss being a tree, sigh water it and hey what’s up
😂😂😂 this is amazing god damn so validating that you, a literal human, even considered my music dope enough to know it this well to be able to even ask this question. I def cannot answer this but like thank you this is extreme validation in the best way 💕🙏🍊
Anonymous murmured: Are you releasing any songs before the next album?
Yeah 1000% I won’t be able to help it. Next up tho is the “inspired by crippling heartache, xoxo” movie. It’s 4 music videos for Sigh water it, crazy like you, better than none, & hey what’s up 💕
theinsideofyoureyelids challenged me to release a new song today since I claimed to be “making music everyday”. I thought about recording a video for one of the new songs we already have but I thought it’d be more fun to just challenge myself to write a new song today so here’s a new song I wrote over the course of today 1/18/14. :p
Lyrics:
i’d apologize if you’d actually listen but after so many times your fucks go missing
& i’m not surprised we fell right back in it yea after so much time we don’t fuck any different
when you get back in town would you be down to maybe hang I finally moved out
I’m not so down, I actually get out of bed before noon and that’s the truth
i’m consistently late, i don’t know your birthday, but you could ask me for anything and I’d get it
right away, I loved your face I’ll take that to the grave bury me with your name
even though you moved to the snow you still get cold when you come back home
never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.
find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.
talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore
picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else
if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.

That’s some pretty good advice. I don’t know what’s left of my humor after ‘guess I’ll just die’ jokes but it’s worth a shot.
Personally i went from “guess I’ll die” jokes to “IF I HAVE TO BE HERE FOR 5 MORE MINUTES I PROMISE YOU I WILL BUY JUST, AN ARRAY OF CLOTHES.” and other wild hyperbolic stuff. Just replace the death part with something ridiculous and off topic. Its very entertaining
This also works with calling myself things like stupid, worthless, trash, etc. Even if you do this jokingly to yourself, your brain still believes it, and keeps up the cycle. Seriously, I found that when I stopped saying these things about myself, even jokingly, it made a massive difference.
Here’s a tip I picked up from a friend that’s helped me a lot — replace self deprecating jokes with ironically self aggrandizing jokes
Like every time I trip and fall, instead of saying “l’m just a disaster human” I say “I’m the epitome of grace and beauty”
Or like, when I draw a picture I’m not 100% happy with, instead of saying “my art is trash” I say something like “you know I think it’s time we replaced the Mona Lisa”
When you do that you get to make a joke, but you’re ALSO getting practice building yourself up, y’know?
And eventually it becomes a reflex and you get so used to it that you can say nice stuff about yourself even when you AREN’T joking
You know what I don’t get? When fanfic authors apologize for long chapters. It’s like? You gave me bonus content, for free, and you’re sorry about it? Bruh. I have already named my firstborn after you. Dude.
You know what else I don’t get? When they apologize for short updates. It’s like: look at these new words I gave you! Sorry I didn’t give you even more free words. Bro, that’s at least two words that I did not have yesterday. For free. Dude. Thank you.
And another thing: when people drop out of nowhere with a surprise update and then apologize for it taking a while. Like, dude, I wasn’t expecting anything, and you gave me words. I thought this fic was abandoned, but wait: there’s more. You just popped in and reminded me that this is a Good Fic that I should probably reread. You made my goshdarn day.
Basically fanfic writers are under no obligation to publish anything so when they do update it’s always a net positive because the story is longer now, and I have something to read, so thank you so much to everyone who writes fic at whatever pace or quantity they want.
Explain to me how I can BOTH agree wholeheartedly with this a a reader…
AND
…really really need to hear this as a writer.
SAME. THANK YOU, OP. ♥️
It’s because readers complain about everything and it sends us mixed signals and makes us feel horrible no matter what. “This is too long to pay attention to!” “This is too short, why’d you even bother?” “Why don’t you ever update fast enough?” “You update too quickly for me to enjoy the fic at my pace!”
