Kids learning about dark subjects need to have art as a tool in their belt.

🖤 You have permission to write and read about darkness, trauma and taboo because they are part of the human experience.
🖤 You have permission to romanticize darkness, trauma and taboo in your writing because romanticizing your pain is something people do to control it.
🖤 Exploring dark, traumatic and taboo topics allows writers and readers to take control of and process painful experiences through fiction.
🖤 There is nothing harmful about writing and reading about dark, traumatic and taboo topics.
🖤 A writer and reader are always in control and constantly affirming their consent to the fiction simply by continuing to write or read.
🖤 If you feel like writing or reading something is harmful to you, you can revoke consent and stop the experience at any time by putting the story down.
This is your daily reminder to not be ashamed of making your life easy for yourself.
Cut your food into small pieces, make the font size 30 on your e book, use straws to drink, get a pen that’s comfortable to hold, take more naps, walk slowly, eat another cookie, buy velcro shoes, re-watch the part you couldn’t understand the first time, write things on your hands so you don’t forget it… whatever you want and/or need
Don’t let anyone tell you how you should be doing things. We don’t need to prove each other anything
Ok, I’m curious. If we were in an A/B/O universe, what dynamic do you think you’d be? Not what you’d want to be, but the one you genuinely think you’d have ended up as.
