10/21/25 - A big, wide open galaxy.
Been a while since I wrote anything here. Let's say hi. Hiiiiiiiiiiii. There's been a couple of interesting happenings this October. I've yet to do anything to actually celebrate and I don't know if I will because I'm bad at celebrating anything, but, me and my pal have been doing art for a Kinktober list I found that had at least some enjoyable prompts on it. Been making art almost the entire month and that feels really good. There's some pieces I really loved and I'm finding joy in depicting my oc's doing horrible things to each other. Especially after some unsavory events over the last couple of months, this has been good for me.
In other strange news, I recreated an old Tumblr blog that I ran a couple years ago. Ended up deleting it because I don't know, I felt like I needed to truly isolate myself from anything and everything and one thing I know I need in my life is control. Not over every single thing ever, but just, any semblance that makes me feel like I have some agency over my own life. And sometimes, that has manifested in the form of just deleting my existence from anywhere. Or disppearing without saying anything. Anyway, I was sharing lots of pics that I like as an archive, for people who like those kinda things. And for some reason, it blew up and now there's fucking 3k+ people following it. And it keeps growing, like, every day. That's more than I've ever had on any social media, the most I had was barely 2k on a very old Tumblr blog.
And even back then, there were way less interactions than what I'm getting right now. It's funny and weird. When I was posting art on Twitter a while back, it stayed just under 1k and I was okay with that. Really, even that much induced a lot of anxiety, but then again, posting art is very personal to me, so sharing it willingly with lots of people... y'know? I don't know. I like that my art account that exists now has basically nobody looking at it. With this archive blog, it's more entertaining because there's nothing very personal about me on it. There kind of is, but nothing substantial, it matches the "theme". I can maintain a distance from it and delete it, if I want to. The amount of weird messages I get though is just, Lol. Lmao, even.
I'm writing about it because there's one person in particular I used to know who greatly desired ^ That. To have a "big following", to have people be curious about them or whatever, and I don't even want it and I got it anyway (by some sheer randomness). It's a funny "gotcha" kinda moment. That abusive shit-stain of a human wanted to be a popular YouTuber/Streamer so bad and harrassed people for collabs. It worked to an extent but his personality is so shit, it was bound to fail. I really wish I could laugh in his face about this. I know anybody reading this doesn't understand the context in that and it does make me look like kind of an asshole. That's fine too.
As time passes between now and then, the less I can withhold my anger about what happened to me. What I mean is when it's reasonably justified to be angry, I don't squash it down anymore. I don't take it out on anybody either, I just feel it, or let it out in my own solitude. It's becoming harder to tolerate nonsense, passive aggressiveness, ect.
On the flip side, stepping more into myself and being more comfortable with myself has been helpful. I think over the last few years, I've been so... destructive, in vague ways, to myself. And I guess that does make sense, psychologically, I'm trying to unlearn what was drilled into me, to unlearn the methods that were keeping me safe at the time but no longer serve me now. It's difficult. I felt like I had to do it and I'd rather do it now while I'm young rather than when I'm older. I'm talking about it in therapy, that, among many other things. Yay.
Idk what else to write about, have a good day buddy.
