Will you be moving to Bluesky?
I’m there too but I’ll still crosspost everything on Twitter. Hopefully once more people move to Bluesky I can leave the cursed app. I use Twitter mostly to stay up to date with the groups I follow and there doesn’t seem to be too much of that kind of activity on Bluesky yet so for now, I’m in both places.

A night, many moons ago, I thought of this as I tried to sleep "remember to breathe in the silence when your words fail, close your eyes and feel that beat" ... Now, I am snuggling my cup of coffee with a smile and listening to birds playing outside as they wait for the sunset. Yes, we can be each other's hope. And no, it is not too much to ask. In fact I believe it's the first time someone asked me that in return so I will be. "Hope in the wind" is on my mind now as I come to you for gentle hugs 💙
I think silence is something that you need to practice until you’re good at. It’s too easy to let anxiety and too many thoughts corrupt it. We call it boredom but it’s just under a disguise. When you do learn how to sit in silence and feel your heart beat, feel how your feet touch the ground and your lungs take in air and the world around you continues to spin no matter what — I think that’s real peace. It does help to quiet the mind and find the words you were missing, you’re absolutely right.
I’ll go outside now and blow some hope into the breeze, and ask it to carry it over to you. Listen well when it arrives, okay? I hope it feels warm.

how do you work up the courage to let strangers on the internet perceive you? specifically referring to writing; I want to post fic for a fandom I love but I can't stop overthinking it
I think that being perceived is what makes us feel real, alive, like we’re part of this world. It’s easy to live our inner lives away from each other, to blend into the cosmos and isolate ourselves but that’s the fastest way to slip into despair.
It’s scary to reveal yourself to others. It’s scary to talk about the things you think about, the way you feel. But it’s what connects us. It’s what helps us feel like we’re not alone floating in space.
I chose to share my writing because I was slipping. I was two steps away from oblivion. And it’s not like I write about anything deep, it’s just stuff about love, but it’s what I think about and I wanted to know if others thought about it too.
And they do.
Every time someone reposts something I wrote I feel a little bit more seen. At some point it stops being scary and it starts being comforting.
It’s not always easy and it’s not always fun because lots of people online are driven by cruelty and shoving it onto others but the majority aren’t.
I hope you take the leap. It’s worth it.

I'm sorry you felt discouraged but that was/is me as well. Then i recalled someone calling me a hopelessly hopeful fool before, if I am one, then you are too. Maybe that's why we feel it all in a way too? I remembered that just as I let the ask hop over to you. This world is a beautiful place because of kind and beautiful souls like you. I do know you'll get when I say I hope you choose to live and stay in it darling. Last gentle hug and so much love your way before I hop to bed 💙

so happy to see you on bluesky as i was avoiding x for the last couple of weeks. also on a different note, I found my previous ask and realized you were the one I first sent gentle hugs to (online at least) Hope you are happy, healthy and safe. Hope you have the most beautiful day and truly hope with my soul that you are still dancing in the wind! And since you are the original one, I am sending all the gentle hugs your way!! 💙
Sometimes I get really discouraged by life but then people like you send me messages like this and I realise there’s still beauty left in the world so thank you so much for sharing your kindness and gentleness with me! Everything you hope for me I hope you, tenfold.
I hope your day is as warm as you and that you get a gentle hug back ✨🤍

Hello! I’m wanting to share my words on X but am worried about not being credited and my poems getting circled around with no trace back to me as the creator. Does this happen often to you? What do you do to prevent it?
