@xvz: our district has virtual or in person school. i refuse to let my son go to in person school. there is no plan in place on the district, state, or national level that gives me enough peace of mind.


@LilMissKushy: i am trying and would like to, but to be honest, i don't post enough. with writing papers, texting my friends, and discord lol by the time I do get to Voltra, I am tired of typing lol. I post here and there and I figure I'll get what I can.


@star2000shadow: my life is good. it is full and busy which can be frustrating, but otherwise it is good. my bills are paid, my son is happy and healthy and to me, that is all that matters. I am swamped with his schoolwork and my own but tbh my partner is a huge help and I'd be lost without his contributions.

@xvz: yes we do actually. sometimes it is side by side. sometimes we are in different rooms due to audio/visuals with classes. We both crack down and do our best and then curse to anyone who listens lol

Don't Quit
by
John Greenleaf Whittier

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is strange with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns
And many a failure comes about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow—
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell just how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit—
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

@Wildfire: no worries on the nuances. I never assume anyones intentions or motives. I have just learned to try and spell things out because I do know many who will assume infer imply and otherwise. You're good as far as I'm concerned :)

@Kittyzilla: you can do this. Have you tried mind mapping? It is a great way to organize ideas and such. I have some links to free software and apps I've used. Start small. 5 minutes a day. You can do 5 minutes. Just sit and write. It doesn't have to make sense or be complete sentences etc. Just do it before bed. Take time and write about your day or doodle. Put thoughts to paper. I'm also on discord if Ya like or wanna PM

@Kittyzilla: hey there. I'm a little late to the party but what's up? I considered nanowrimo. I have a story I began and got good feedback on thus far. It started out as an lgbt hallmark kinda story...ended up segueing into some more salacious bits but I have the makings for either lol

@Wildfire: I don't always view victimization as a bad thing. I believe it is real and has a place. For instance, people from my past have, we'll let's say they had a hard time keeping their hands off me and to themselves. I am a victim. I carried that with me for a long time and took it to a very dark place at times. I now try to turn to that for strength. I still hurt and my mind can be a warzone at times. When these things first happened and even the second time and third I wasn't aware of how to act or react. I am a cismale and we aren't victims. We don't get abused. We don't talk about these things. We don't. Later on in life I learned that we do. And we can. And I will. So, victimization isn't necessarily a bad thing. And I don't think when it is legitimate that we allow ourselves to be victimized. Though I do know some who like to play victim in their own lives. Nothing is ever their fault. Always someone else wronging them. Both the hero and the victim in their life story yet 0 accountability. So...I can see many sides to this just as in life very little is strictly black or white.
