Digital Canary πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ—½'s avatar

β€œMirror Amelia”, meet β€œSecond Canary”.

aka the Villain, as my daughter calls hers: not simply an internal critic (all 4 of us have an overactive one of those, but they keep each of on the straight & narrow), but one so incessantly devoted to its host’s destruction at times that the imagined peace of death is a siren’s call (no, not that kind of siren).

Touch grass, read poetry, post CanCon πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ for Freedom. That seems to keep my Villain at bay, when he tries to get past the barrier that ECT has built.

Maybe I’ll even get used to just being DC, but for now it still feels like I’m digging trenches in a bloody war, even at the best of times.

Thanks as always for what you post: I’m sure there are others too, but you’ve made an addict of me, addicted to the honesty, vulnerability, and often raw beauty in what you share with us. And addicted to seeing the art and beauty that surrounds me.

(And for sealing the deal of CCπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦FF#5)

To me it just means β€œI read this and got something out of it.” It’s not really something you enjoy.
