Ive Done This Before - Tumblr Posts
This is equivalent to how I was. Same energy.
😃
pop music plays on the speakers in the kriegman basement, quiet due to cal constantly turning them down. andre’s on the floor doing push-ups and following a workout routine his coach assigned him for track. he’s on number 23 and counting out loud until he gets to 40.
he glances up to see cal sprawled out on an old couch in the corner of the room with a book from english class in front of his face. he’s not reading, though. he’s peaking up over the book, staring at andre.
“you want to join me?” andre asks, startling cal out of his stupor.
cal hums in response; he thinks andre is joking. the older boy suddenly stands up and walks toward cal with outstretched arms. “c’mere.”
“i’m not doing fucking push-ups,” cal snaps. he is dead serious, but he’s still putting down his book and standing up.
“you don’t have to, dumbass. you’ll be my weight.” andre gives cal a toothy smile. when he spots the confusion on cal’s face, he clarifies what he means. “look, i have about 20 more push-ups to go. you sit on my back while i do them. the more weight, the more of a workout i get. it’s simple.”
that’s how cal finds himself sitting sideways on andre’s back while andre swears and grunts until he gets to 40. cal quickly gets off his friend’s back, at least before andre collapses onto the ground.
“dumb idea on my part. we’re never doing that again.”
starting again! this time...with friends by my side!!

remember when you were scared that you wouldn't be able to make friends? well...look at you now? you've come so far!
no this is not a setback!
it unfortunately happened...and there's a high chance that tumblr's staff can't do anything about it!!
don't be discouraged! don't be sad for too long! cry it out! scream (okay it's 12:40am, maybe don't do that...) it out!
but don't forget your lovely mutuals! don't forget the genuine interactions you've had with them so far! don't forget the happiness you felt when they answered your message for the first time! don't ever forget these friends as you move on with your journey!
use this as an opportunity to start again! you said that you didn't like how your old posts looked right? you've found your trademark now!
rewrite it, remaster it, reupload it!
don't give up now, okay? not when there was proof before that people support your work!
you can do it! i believe in you!
