This is a super dark and uncomfortable thing for most people and I really apologize, but I really hope i live to be 39 so I'll be able to say I'm older than my dad ever was. My dad was not a good person, so I keep that goal for me.

Every time I write a hypothetical song or poetry or a short story idea thing, I always come to the same conclusion after reading over to myself. "That's really dark and messed up. Why did you write that? Can't you write something less disturbing and traumatic?"

I'm the kind of guy who watched a film from the 1960s and found is so powerful I almost cried. I only didn't cry due to my medication preventing me from feeling that heavily over a movie. Cheers

I'm attempting to record a playthrough of a visual novel mostly to try and get better at speaking. I have had bad speaking habits like stuttering and messing up word pronunciation since I can remember, so maybe if I talk more it might help.

There's so many people that made art or character whatever, that I look and have been completely radio silent online for years, some longer. I know it's never any of my business, but I just sometimes look people like and wonder how they're doing and hope they're alright.

There's a pride event coming up at the end of the month. How do closeted socially anxious people do stuff at pride events? I want to wear my silly pup play mask and walk around anonymously so no one recognizes me but I'm afraid people will ask about my mask or complain I'm being fetishy.

I need a therapist. One that finally isn't into right wing bullshit like Jordan Peterson garbage. I just want one I can if nothing else gush to. I'm way too afraid of people.

The more I open up about my uncertain and complete incomprehensible understanding of my sexuality, romantic interests, and friendship availability, the more I feel accepting of myself. I'm still in need of a lot of work but I'm at least acknowledging myself and not continuously saying im wrong.

Y'know, I wish i didn't have that stupid social anxiety. It prevents me from a lot of things that I think of as "enjoyable human relationships". Maybe I'll somehow grow out of it. I'll probably need a lot of help.

I have so much stuff I need to watch. G1 climax, Nolan's Odyssey, Mystery Wrestling, Disclosure Day, Toyota Story 5, Obsession, I also need to rewatch all of Evangelion at some point

I want to say this and hope a lot of artists that work off commissions hear it. People who want art commissions will come to YOU for commissions if they see and like your art. If YOU come and ask to people to commission YOU, then YOU are coming off as predatory to potential buyers. Don't do this.

My trust in people is getting even worse since taking to someone with a "Hey I like your commissions you've gotten and I like your idea in an unmade character! Let's talk!" and then days later turning into "Pay me to draw your character! Here are my prices!" Stop.
