please go to sleep knowing you are needed, wanted, beautiful and lovable. don’t be so harsh on yourself; you are doing just fine, and your happiness and well-being is the priority. eat something. drink water. get some rest. i love you. you can make it through this

pro-antagonist:

Sometimes it’s really lonely being an author. Because when you’re writing, you’re doing it alone, and there’s no one there to gush over silly feelings with you.

And I suppose that’s why reader comments are important to authors. It’s not about the compliments. It’s that we’ve been alone with our thoughts this whole time. It’s an awesome feeling when a friend shows up to share them with you.
