    there's this guy i know who keeps making fun of me every time i see him.

    he calls me stupid and naive. he asks me all kinds of personal questions that i'm not comfortable answering. he diagnoses me with all these issues he thinks i have. and he makes really really uncomfortable sexual comments about me and my writing.

    he comes over to my house uninvited. he makes fun of my roommate while she's in the room. he tells me i have bad study habits and that i'm a terrible cook. he told me i need to start using pimple patches. he tells me that i don't notice details.

    when i'm studying in public, he'll come over and start chatting it up, even if i tell him i'm busy.

    he doesn't respect my boundaries. i asked him to at least text me before he comes over and he totally brushed me off. he doesn't listen when i tell him that i'm not stupid and that i'm not obsessed with controlling people. he doesn't listen when i tell him i'm busy. he doesn't believe me when i say i'm busy. he mocks me when i say that i do, in fact, notice details sometimes. that i'm not as oblivious as he implies that i am. i ask him not to look at my work, he does anyway.

    he's joking, but the jokes aren't funny. i laugh because i don't want to hurt his feelings. i smile and tell him it's alright, just text me beforehand.

    and the worst part is i can tell that most of it doesn't come from a bad place. he's trying to be funny, but it's backfiring horribly. it just makes me uncomfortable.

    what do i do.

      its not as bad as it sounds

      it was mostly all joking and i was kinda going along with it even tho it made me uncomfortable 

      but im glad its over

      he texted me back kinda asking why and i was just like “yeah no”

      actually kajsa i can send you screenshots and stuff

      hes in the same complex so he already knew where i lived but yeah he showed up to drop cookies off and hang out

      i was taking an exam tho so i kinda told him that i was busy but he stayed for like 20 minutes and both me and my roommate were too nice to tell him to go

      i really struggle with setting boundaries unless it really really bothers me yk

      he did show up uninvited tho two days in a row and i think he kinda got the hint on the 2nd day but today he was like “i’ll try to drop by sometime this week” and i really really didnt want him inviting himself over again

  7. if you could live in any other time period, what time period would you live in and why?

      Through the Living Hope

      Kinda basic answers but either the American Revolution or Jesus’ lifetime

    2. Slowswift

      Slowswift

      Roman Republic or Victorian/Edwardian era. The standard of living has never been better, but at least they had some form of running water.

  8. listen man

    chatgpt is pretty funny

    but my favorite ai ever will probably be the spotify ai

    like the emotional rollercoaster it takes me on is crazy

    like it'll play single ladies and then immediately after it'll play let me down slowly

    dj x if you're seeing this i love you never change

      guys i wrote a story i'll post it on my thread in the morning because im not finished yet but i really like it

  10. someone help me figure this out in my head bc i dont know and i feel really bad no matter what decision i make

    i overthink btw guys so if i'm ever assertive or annoying idk i feel really bad

    anyways so we were doing a group presentation for my english and we were working on a ppt but that was boring and then we were like "oh what if we did a funny video?" because the teacher encourages creativity and all that stuff

    and we were like using ai to brainstorm ideas and we ended up using an ai-written script for the video

    and like idk we did the whole video and it was fine and then one of the girls edited the whole thing and all that

    and ig i dunno i kinda realized that i dont want that on my conscience

    i want to be honest and authentic in my work and using ai to do anything beyond brainstorming feels like a betrayal of my beliefs (i'm not saying they're not honest and authentic btw, they're all lovely amazing people)

    anyways so after she'd edited, she said something about how it was way too short and one of the guys was like "yeah we could supplement it and just have it at the end or something"

    and so i kinda stepped in and i was like "hey i'm actually not okay submitting ai work, especially cause you can get in serious trouble if you get caught and i also just don't want to be dishonest"

    this is all over text btw

    and they were kinda like "oh yeah like we could just use the video as an extra just in case we can't fill the time"

    and i just i don't know.

    so i volunteered to do the entire thing myself, but i didn't realize how much work that would entail. i've been working for the past hour and a half and i'm not even halfway done. and it's sloppy, like it's not good writing or anything.

    i like want to ask them for help because i am tired and the words aint wording and i'd appreciate it if they'd pop in to edit my work. but also i'm kinda the reason we have to do all this extra work in the first place because i don't want to submit ai work (even if we'd never get caught)

    and like i don't mind if they submit ai work, like that's their business and it really has nothing to do with me

    i just i don't want that for myself

    and i want to fix it before we have to present

    but i don't know i'm like so tired idk if i can do it all.

    and i also have like ten other assignments to do before tomorrow morning and uh yeah.

    i just feel like i'm being annoying and i probably am tbh. they had the whole project streamlined and then i was like "erm actually". i want an A in the class, but idk how to do that on my own and i don't want to annoy them any longer (especially because they're probably getting to bed right about now)

    (this is the thing i needed advice abt btw, and i thought i fixed it when i said i wasn't gonna cheat but idk im just so freaking tired and i don't know if i can do this all on my own.)

      Bad feedback

      even though it’s what I prefer

      bc

      i want comments on how to improve, not patronization

      this might sound dumb but im lowkey more scared of good feedback

      i mean i was just basically asking it to imitate me

      you could also submit a crapton of random stuff you were writing and it could probably imitate your style

      i have a friend who submitted a whole bunch of his essays to chatgpt and now chatgpt can just straight-up write in his voice and it passes the ai detectors

      kinda scary

  15. guys its crazy how much freetime i have now that i've decided to do an instagram fast this week

    like tell me why i'm actually getting sleep, doing my homework, and having a social life?

    crazy what not doomscrolling will do to ya

  16. just be aware that everything i write is connected somehow to everything else i write

    characters with the same name? yeah thats cuz they're the same character

    it makes for great lore because instead of sticking with one character, i tend to write short snapshots from different aspects of the world

    and its all connected back to the mc and the villain

    1. kajsa ㅇㅅㅇ

      kajsa ㅇㅅㅇ

      FACTS

      all of my stuff is like super interconnected

      cuz like hadley has a daughter right

      said daughter (ESTEE MY SWEET CHILD) meets another of my characters (CAYUS MY POOR BABYYY) in this separate place who is another of my characters’ nephews 

      and the aunt (KIESHA >:3333 ) is my other characters’ (Hera and Kieran) sister

      and hera and kieran are friends with a bunch of other of my characters

      and their spouses are a pair of siblings so technically theyre married to their siblings-in-laws

      and the chilrens (estee and cayus and co) also meet this other character (CHAN MY SWEET SWEET BABY) and this other one (ANASTASIA BABYYYYY) two and they all have these different stories but they’re all friends :3

      and like

      its rlly fun :333

  17. if you're struggling with editing, edit just one page at a time

    figure out your plan for the whole (obviously)

    but if its too overwhelming, just start one page at a time

  18. guys its writer lock in month
