Vesper’s been writing Things that make me want to write Things but I’m kinda scared & also my thoughts are disorganized.
One of the Things is a summary/rephrasing/discussion of a consent model post by someone else… which I’m ambivalent about referencing because then I’d be expected to link it, and it’s kind of weird if I don’t — but the original post has… stuff that I’m not even sure how to word the trigger warnings for. ‘Cause I feel like those are less effective when they’re too vague for you to know what kind of stuff you’re in for, if that makes sense. So I dunno how to handle that. When you’re too vague, people just get curious, you know? And I don’t want that to become a distraction.
The other of the Things is a personal story but oh God I don’t know how to prepare for the emotional fallout.

…yeah, the Thing(s) is really hard to talk about. it’s only now when i’m apathetic as fuck that i word vomit into the internet without caring so much about the repercussions of it because i just want to think aloud and Storytime.

(If it helps, remember you can always write things and then put them away until you feel ready to release them, if you ever feel ready to release them. I wrote “Here goes everything” over the course of two years–I started writing, realized I wasn’t ready for people to read it, and then just sort of…kept working on it whenever I felt the need to say something.)

Thanks. It’s not the sharing part that I’m worried about in this case, though. More the… putting specific words down.
