I Am Learning That Boxes Do Not Make You Complete. Placing A Title On Your Life Does Not Prove That You

I am learning that boxes do not make you complete. Placing a title on your life does not prove that you deserve to live it. It will not prove that you belong. You do not belong. Few do. This world is not our home.

Boxes are prisons. Don't be their prisoner.

Defy their expectations. Break free.

There's nothing wrong with you.

They simply fear what they cannot label.

...

You do not have to prove that you deserve to exist. You can simply exist. You deserve life. Do not resent your own breath.

Wow I really needed to hear this today. Just put together a cosplay for a thin anime character and was feeling kinda rough about it.

Fat people are not required to dress up on Halloween as Ursula, Peter Griffin, Shrek, Paul Blart, Homer Simpson, Eric Cartman, Donald Trump, literal food, or any other fat villain/joke/stereotype. Fat people are allowed to dress up as Cinderella, Wolverine, what have you. We don’t even have to dress up as characters that are canonically fat. We don't have to cover our bodies ten times as much as thin people. And if you feel uncomfortable seeing a fat person not walk around as your fat joke personified and instead allowed to be seen as an actual human being for once, then that problem is your own.

Chuuya, at Dazai's funeral: I need a moment with him.

Everyone: Of course. *leaves*

Chuuya, leaning over Dazai′s coffin: Okay, listen here you little shit. I know you’re not dead.

Dazai: Yeah, no shit.

Well this is not what I expected.

Since I listen to almost every genre listed above, I spent a whole ass day trying to decide. I'm most into folk punk right now, though, so we went with that.

If I HAD to name my top five it would be:

Folk Punk, Pop Punk, Emo, Heavy Metal, Punk Rawk.

My least favorite would have to be grunge. It's just waaaayyyy too soft and chill for me, lacks a lot of punch for my taste. But maybe I haven't heard the right grunge? Idk. My dad raised me on Creed/Scott Stapp and a friend of mine is a fan of No Name Faces. Which I enjoy Scott Stapp's album "Proof of Life" but I'm not even sure if that's grunge? Eh.

Point is, folk punk is amazing and if you haven't checked it you need to. Great background noise for panic attacks, long drives, parties and crying sessions- it covers all the bases!

If you're an aspiring author working to get published, slaving away on a novel in progress with perfection as your goal... I would highly advise you, every once in a while... to write.

Not on your novel, not in your notes and concepts document, not on anything even remotely professional and not in a journal. Simply tell a story, stress free, with no expectations. Could be fanfiction from your favorite series, a random short story idea you had three months ago, or a writing prompt you found online. Allow yourself to have some fun again. Remind yourself why you love what you do. It will make you all the more determined and inspired to one day complete your ultimate work.

Fanfiction was how I originally fell in love with writing (that and my adventures in my paracosms). I started putting my story ideas on paper when I was eight. Four years ago I stopped writing fanfiction altogether, deeming it a waste of time when I could be putting my talents elsewhere. But a couple days ago I randomly decided to sit down with a computer and a few ideas, no outline or notes whatsoever, and just have a good time. Incredibly cleansing.

My life has been a blur recently, but in like a good way? Like in a way that I'm able to just focus on the present with my friends and having the future all worked out for myself.

Things are still hard but I'm getting better.
