Ego trip much?????
Wow. Really?
I thought about not answering this at all because anonymous comments like this are cowardly, rude, and amount to social media bullying.
But just in case this anon bothers to look at my answer and decides to reconsider commenting like this in the future, I thought I’d take a minute to respond.
Nope. No ego trip here. But I am a hard-working full-time doctor and mom of four young kids who, after homework help, teaching my youngest to read and write, making meals, managing my house and gardens, studying new parenting/therapy techniques for my kids with ADHD, and trying to find time to exercise, will spend my precious spare minutes writing fanfiction.
Fanfiction writers spend hours crafting their stories that they post on a website where anyone can read them free of cost. Our only payment comes in the form of kudos and comments. We owe our readers nothing. Writing is a creative outlet, and posting our stories is a service, an act of love.
But thanks to you, anon, I may not be writing this weekend. Was that your goal, anon? Insult me and convince me of my worthlessness? Stop me from writing?
On second thought, maybe I WILL write because perhaps my decision not to write MIGHT actually be your sad, twisted goal.
I don’t know on what you decided to base your accusation. Perhaps on my post earlier about the strange comment I got? If so, please know that I take the time to respond to EVERY comment I get. But I’m not going to answer every question about my plot. I don’t give spoilers. And reading the story IS how you learn what happens next, not asking the writer.
So, anon, I wish you the best and hope that you will think twice before posting spineless criticisms to random people who you know next to nothing about.
Farewell.
hey if you're gonna complain how people interpret a ship maybe don't use the ship tag? Fandom etiquette 101 it's so basic

i love when i'm in the car at night and i look out the window and the moon is following me. it's so romantic. we've been doing this since i was a child
70 -
What a day this has turned into. I found out a coworker that was let go last week may have blabbed about my drinking problem - likely to shift the spotlight.
I understand but I really don’t. I wouldn’t do that to another person.
I don’t want my substance abuse issues to ruin yet another thing in my life. I’m really trying not to let it.
You know? I am doing my best. Sometimes my best means more one day and less on another. Sometimes my best means doing it half assed instead of avoiding it.
I’m not perfect and I am horribly inconsistent in everything I do but I still try. I acknowledge my vulnerabilities and embrace my strengths.
As an addict, there’s a stigma associated with it. Once people know, I fear that’s all they see.
It’s all I’ve seen for a long, long time.
I have come far and I continue to learn.
I know that 99% of the time, people’s actions & behaviors have more to do with themselves than with me. The way they behave is as a result of their thought patterns and beliefs. It’s hard not to take it personally. Especially as an insecure only child - surprise!! It really had nothing to do with me all along.
I feel invalidated. Someone else is using my vulnerability and pain to hide theirs. How twisted huh.
It’s almost like that voice in my head, the one that says “you are a piece of shit, you’ll never amount to anything worthy and you’ll always struggle” - she got a little louder after being quiet for a while. Ugh.
Tomorrow will be a good day, I know it. Day over day it’s hard to see the evolution but I look back to a year ago and ….. definitely not where I want to be BUT I think I might actually like myself now?
If I say love, I’m afraid I’ll jinx it.
So we are making moves and improving and when people try to take us out, we say NOT TODAY SATAN!!!!
Cheers lol
Don’t Compare Yourself to Others: Shine Like the Sun and Moon in Your Own Time

November 23, 2023
It's easy to fall into the trap of measuring our self-worth against others. Whether it's through achievements, appearance, or possessions, we often find ourselves comparing our lives to those around us. However, it's crucial to remember that each of us has a unique journey and purpose. Just like the sun and moon shine in their own time, we too can nurture our individuality and embrace our own path.
1. Embrace your uniqueness: Just as the sun is distinct from the moon, each person possesses qualities that make them special. Comparing yourself to others only diminishes your confidence and hampers personal growth. Instead, focus on recognizing your strengths, talents, and passions that set you apart from everyone else. Embrace your uniqueness wholeheartedly and understand that your individual journey brings its own value.
2. Set realistic goals: While it's natural to feel inspired by other people's achievements, constantly comparing yourself might lead to unrealistic expectations. Remember that success is subjective – what may work for someone else might not be suitable for you. Set your own goals based on your capabilities, interests, and aspirations. By doing so, you'll create a roadmap tailored specifically to your needs, ensuring fulfillment when achieving these milestones.
3. Celebrate small victories: The sun doesn't wait for applause before casting its brilliant light upon the earth every morning; similarly, don't underestimate the power of celebrating even minor accomplishments along your path. Acknowledge every step forward you take towards reaching your goals – no matter how insignificant they may seem at first glance. By appreciating these small victories, you reinforce positive thinking and foster motivation within yourself.
4. Surround yourself with positivity: Comparisons often arise when we surround ourselves with negative influences or toxic environments that breed dissatisfaction. Instead, seek out supportive and uplifting individuals who encourage personal growth. Surrounding yourself with positive energy will help you realize that success is not a limited resource – there is enough for everyone.
5. Cultivate self-compassion: Just as the moon shines brightly during its phase without comparing itself to the sun, it's essential to practice self-compassion. Understand that nobody's journey is perfect, and setbacks are a natural part of life. Be gentle with yourself when faced with challenges or failures and learn from them instead of dwelling on negative comparisons.
In a world where comparison seems inevitable, remember that each of us has our own unique path to walk. By embracing your individuality and focusing on your strengths, you can shine in your own time like the sun and moon. Celebrate small victories along your journey and surround yourself with positivity to foster personal growth. Ultimately, by avoiding comparisons, you'll find fulfillment in being authentically yourself rather than trying to fit into someone else's mould. So let go of comparisons, embrace your uniqueness, and bask in the radiance of your personal journey!
