It really is a huge struggle, but is anything good in life easy? I believe that being able to accomplish your goal, being able to change the path you're on is the biggest reward out there. You get to relax knowing that you managed to change your fate with nothing but a pure determination. It always seemed very cool to me, that we are capable of that
The hardest part though is realizing what is it that is leading you the wrong path and acknowledging the mistakes you're making. A lot of people try to act blind to their own shortcomings, because they are too afraid to face the truth. But pretending and lying to yourself won't get you anywhere.
(also, I'm using a general "you", so it's more of my rambling than anything directed at you specifically

It's true that our worst enemy is ourselves. I need to find the strength to overcome this moment and get back on track. This strength can only be found within ourselves. Sorry for the delayed response.
Agreed

The magic of writing is in how it can be a safe heaven both for the writer and the readers. The ability to pour your own heart on the "paper" for someone else to find shelter in it is such a positive thing. I love it
In my case, what I write is more of a hell than a heaven, but the essence of your message remains, and I agree. After experimenting with many forms of expression, the one that suits me best is definitely writing.
Of course, Matcha-kun

You can count on Ane-san any time
Thank you, I know you're tired too, and here I am complaining. Lately, I feel empty, devoid of color. Thank you for putting up with my outbursts.
It's only natural. Though, being old and wise now, I can tell you that moments like this have their own benefits. It's a good time to think about yourself and focus on other things that you wouldn't otherwise. It's difficult to command your own feelings, but a bit of discipline doesn't hurt. Besides, being able to take your mind off of this is also gonna help with making the time go faster, so before you know it, all will be good again
Although I'm aware of this flaw of mine, I definitely need to learn to control myself. Too often, I go overboard and cross the line. I need more discipline. Thank you for your words, Ane-san.
ngl, we've had a little help in interpretation from some witches in a coven or two that we know...
Are the inexplicable eldritch forces compatible with witchcraft? By the way, Quagma's personal lore unlocked and interesting points to explore.
we have no choice but to act like we have free will, is how i've seen it put. if one were to recreate the exact same first second or so of the universe, things will play out pretty much almost exactly the same, save for the occasional random flux in the quantum foam. but then again, nobody knows yet if that is truly random, or if it would flux again in the exact same way if you recreate the original conditions.
Yeah, not knowing if everything is random or predestined, the sensible choice is to behave as if everything is yet to be written. It may not be the milk in the matcha that changes the final result, but there are choices we feel we have control over, and they can be crucial.
it really is therapeutic. just get those words out of your head, and they can stop bothering you because they're trapped on a page now. one can vent their frustrations, work out their fantasies, or just think about things.
A prison for words and feelings. A truly interesting concept.
we grew up the eldest of four siblings. it's not all fun and games having to be the responsible one and raising your siblings. especially when your actual parents kinda forget to do that themselves...
I am also the older brother of two younger siblings. I know what it means to be their role model and the best example possible, to take on responsibilities. It’s not easy. Sometimes I wish I had someone to rely on as well.
