i'm grateful that you always call us out on our fears scribbling outside the line. speaking for myself, i am scared of the same thing you are: The Othering.
i'm sorry that St. Catherine Alexandria withdrew her comment because now its deletion makes it seem scarier than it was. we're BOTH hella scared.
i'm glad that Temporary Reality captured a wisdom by re-quoting a good part.
St. Catherine Alexandria: my first advice (you didn't ask) is to let what you say or write sit stand or lie, and deal with the fallout.
you act as if Papa slapped your hand. he did not. he was just coaching TONE like a director. if you run away and hide YOU CHEAT US of the learning because i had to re-read you to understand Translucent Jejune Octopus' concern, which is totally legitimate.
so yes! i see this "good girl" you'll have to get to know and calm down as you emerge as your emotional, testing, artistic, daring self!
trust us to handle YOU, St. Catherine Alexandria. you're already fascinating as you are. don't further cheat us out of this new fun stuff as you emerge or bring forth another side of yourself.
you've been here a long time and deserve to be messy, evolving, and have us struggle to understand you and handle your pain and terror.
thank you again for FEELING me! that means the world to me.
