“Don’t be ashamed of being highly sensitive. You were given this life because you are strong enough to transform the seemingly negative aspects of your life into light. For too long humanity as shied away from our emotions, living disconnected from our environment with our own self-interested agenda. You feel deeply, your own emotions and that of others, the energy of animals, nature, crystals and the environment and spaces which surround you at any given time. This might seem overwhelming at times but we are constantly learning ways to ground yourselves into the energy of the current moment and daring to remember the lessons of past lives that our souls hold for us. We are spiritual warriors, here to continuously dare to feel. Currently on our own little revolution. With that regards, I couldn’t be prouder.”

HOW TO SPEAK WRITER: 

  • “my characters have a mind of their own!” – no i’m not mad and yes i know i made them up but i have no idea what’s happening anymore please save me
  • “i’m going to write today!” – i’d actually rather wash the garden path but the house is already pristine and i’ve run out of excuses
  •  “this is still a rough draft so go easy on me!” – i have spent what feels like forever pouring my very soul into this but i worry it’s terrible and if you’re mean i may just cry
  • “i’ll update soon!” – this is utterly killing me, i don’t know how to read anymore, what are words, help 
  • “i just had this idea and had to share it with you guys!” – this has taken me three weeks and countless hours please love and appreciate it
  • “feedback appreciated :D” – please, i live for validation! i need comments!! 
  • “I’ve got writer’s block” – I know where I want the story to go, but I’m crippled by my own expectations and what i think other people’s expectations are
  • “This was a good writing day!” – I was, somehow, able to avoid most distractions and wrote more than 5 words. It was still like pulling teeth
  • “I’m excited for this project :)” – I’ve spent what feels like three lifetimes thinking, planning, and revising the idea, and now that I’m starting to work on it, I’m paralyzed by the certain knowledge that it’s not going to be anywhere near what I want it to be
  • “My characters hate me” – I have done horrible things to my characters that, if they were real, would surely count as crimes against humanity, and despite loving them, I love hurting them more. My final shred of humanity has me feeling guilty…guess I’ll just have to stab my characters a few more times…
  • “I’m not really feeling motivated” – I’m wringing out my very soul to write this story, and it’s left me exhausted. Random love will recharge me, otherwise I’m going to crawl into a procrastination hole for the next week
  • “Send me asks” – I’m lonely and have writer’s block* (see above), and desperately want to interact with people. Please. I’m begging you, don’t leave me alone with my thoughts

I am SO MANY OF THESE ALL AT ONCE and it’s torture.
