Oh don't worry about it, I wouldn't have offered up the idea of the writing-process post if I wasn't looking for people to encourage me to work on it, haha. I'd like to have it for myself to look back at later as well.
And yeah damn Wen Qing is staggeringly gorgeous. Also her heart, ugh. So big. And she's so talented. I'm 100% here for her, always. I'm just continually getting more and more attached to her. She's so brave and smart and good??? Help???
I got fed up, scooped the spider into a glass, and threw it outside, following xparrot's suggestion to scold it for being cheeky, which made it less creepy. lol.
I think for me I'm very aware of what I share and how I phrase things, so what I present is pretty curated. I am cringing as I type this lol bc that sounds Not Great. But at the same time, it's natural to present different personas for different situations so authenticity isn't supes black and white? Oh I think I see what you're saying. I used to feel like this a lot more when I was on popular social media. Like, there's not one true genuine self, IMO, and it's normal to be different in different contexts, and if I'm self-editing to facilitate making real connections with other people, that seems fine. But some social frameworks incentivize presenting oneself as...kind of a product, in a way that just closes off real conversations? Or anyway that's what I was doing, and I didn't like it. I find Dreamwidth very different (and more like the Good Old Internet, where finding people who were my kind of weird and genuinely befriending them was easier for me.)
