This is your weekly reminder that writing cannot save you. Nor can it solve any of your problems. You have been warned. Carry on.

Needing love is a sign of an atrophied mind.

people tend to believe that reading is some sort of self-help more than writing.

the amount of "what book solves X problem in my life" threads far outnumber writing as self-help threads.

i blame orpah.

If it makes the Dionysian patterns of my life fun enough to endure another 30 or 40 years of this, even another 20 wouldn‘t be the worst thing ever, then yeah it can save me. Just not in the way you‘re suggesting.

reading/writing/pursuing knowledge has saved lives and is far more valuable than any other media you could possibly use for escapism.

love is overrated

I don't write to save myself. I write fanfiction to save characters who weren't fortunate enough to receive happy endings.
