im sorry you and your friends had to go through all of that. u should feel proud though setting your boundaries. you did what was right for you and your health. them threatening to end their own life was way too far. i just hope they end up getting the help they need. maybe this interaction was what they needed to open up their eyes, realize where they were wrong and what they need to change. pls take care

I'm really sorry that things didn't go as well as they should have. Like bonecharms said, you absolutely did the right thing, and yhou should feel proud for setting those boundaries!! Boundaries are almost always difficult to voice, I know I still have problems with that. I am proud of u <3

i appreciate the reassurance from u both <3

surprise! new essay! my angstiest one yet!

I hope to see you blossom into even angstier work in time ♡♡♡ In all seriousness, I do envy those who can be angsty in an unselfconscious way. Sometimes it's hard for me to feel angry without trying to soften myself.

ty vashti <3 i still struggle with allowing myself to be fully angry too, i'm WAY softer irl. for months i debated if i should even bother writing essays, i feel like the combo of being angsty and not saying anything new comes off as obnoxious. although, i think one of the first authentic things i ever learned about myself is that i literally HAVE to be at least a little edgy, it's who i am, i'd go insane otherwise.

now that my site has slowly become p edgy i might as well keep going. i half-deliberately set my own precedent and what other ppl expect of me. plus i refuse to delete things when i hate them, so i'm not able to run from those expectations. despite all my fears i think it's good that people expect me to be myself, whether they approve or not. i hope you're able to explore something like that that works for you too.

theme changer script totally rewritten to include a working cookie preference :3 after bashing my head against a wall for 2 days

So weird; I was thinking of your nature vs. nurture essay last night for some reason. Hope you're doing well today UA.

I don't know anything about cookies, but I recommend that you do what you want forever ♡

I hope you get some sleep soon.

from my understanding, cookies are basically tiny bits of information stored on a users browser. for example, the theme changer. your page will send my browser a key value pair, in this case which theme I pick on your page, which I can chose to either accept or deny. if I chose to accept, any time I visit your page, my browser will automatically recognize the settings or themes I set related to your page.

there are many kinds of cookies, like session management, personalization, and the most common kind of cookies we come across, which is tracking. tracking cookies are the ones people have the most issue with because it's a way for companies to store seemingly useless information on you to later sell to other companies to then show you hyper personalized ads, amongst other things.

in your case, I would have nothing to worry about. the cookies you are using are just personalization. the only information you are collecting are things like which theme people prefer, that way they don't have to constantly change it to their preference each and every time they visit your page. you can learn more about it in the HTTP Cookies Wikipedia page, under the Uses section. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_

tysm for the information! i rly appreciate you clearing that up for me :))
