Oh my goodness, oh my goodness. I really don’t have the ability to type out how truly thankful I am for how many people my words are reaching.
Thank you all so, so much for following and allowing me to put my reminders onto your dash. Thank you for spreading my positivity. And thank you so much to the people who have even gone out of their way to submit reminders to the blog to help others, and to those that have also sent me their kind words of thanks and encouragement to keep on doing what I’m doing.
This milestone is mind-boggling and I am nothing but overwhelmed with happiness. Thank you all so much, and I hope that I can continue helping even just a small portion of you with my posts. I hope you’re all having a lovely day today, and trying your hardest to smile. :)
For some reason the Tumblr mobile app isn’t showing the full answer to my ask?? Only the desktop version on my laptop is showing the full answer. Is it only showing the shortened version on everyone’s mobile app or just on mine?
//Again, sorry for my absence. This will be my first Christmas and new year without my mother, so this month has been very rough. But replies to my asks are coming soon! I’ll try to get a few done tomorrow!
I get a lot of asks in my inbox where you guys describe things you are dealing with, and I will always try to answer them with either some advice, a little motivation, or simply to show my sympathies, and hope that my response will help cheer you up, even if it’s just a little bit.
However, I am aware of the fact that some people who follow me might find some of the topics that are discussed in the answered asks disturbing, or would wish for them to not appear on their dashboards.
So, for that reason, I would like to ask you guys to respond to this post (or send me an anonymous ask) with tags you would like me to add for trigger warnings. I will list them for myself, and try to tag said trigger warnings on my asks, or my posts, if they contain that trigger topic.
I might forget to do that sometimes, so if I do, please tell me and I will add the trigger warning tag as soon as possible! <3
In order to cope with my depression/grief, I have created another blog where I will be posting poems that I’ve written, which are mainly about grief, depression and my mother’s death: https://poemsforsabrina.tumblr.com/
Perhaps they could help some of you, or maybe inspire you <3
First of all, I want to apologize for my absence. It’s been well over a few months since I posted on this blog, and I am so sorry to those who have been waiting for a reply to their ask, or who have missed seeing my little messages on their dashboard.
The past couple of months have been so rough and hard for me that I had to take a step back and take a break from this blog, simply because I was not in the right state of mind to give people any kind of advice, nor did I have the inspiration or energy to post positive messages for you guys. I was in a very dark place mentally, and I struggled deeply with my depression.
Thankfully I was able to get more intense psychological help, and slowly but surely I have started feeling much better. Right now, I have been doing much better than I have in the past couple of months, so that’s really nice :)
I want to pick things up again with this blog, and answer your asks and brighten your day a little with positive messages for you guys to see on your dashboards. I can’t say how active I will be exactly, as I am just slowly picking things up again, but I will try my best to start posting regularly again!
I hope you all understand and forgive me for my absence. Please be patient with me <3 I will try to get this blog rolling again!
To add to my response to that ask, I found a quote from Joss Whedon’s commentary of “Chosen” that gives me a lot of Andrew feels:
Again, I had very much planned not to have any reason for Anya’s death, any reason behind it or any reason to come after it. But the writer in me couldn’t not resolve it somewhat, and I think the audience needed what Xander needed, which was something. And that something was Andrew learning that the thing that he’s sort of reviled for, making up stories, becomes the thing that he helps Xander with. Becomes the thing that he actually is good at. Giving her the epic death that she didn’t actually get to have.
