But sometimes you need to take care of yourself first before you can help others!

Should I go sleep? Hm…

Hello there.

I’m Dania Sharling a water and ice witch and Keeper.

I have a brother, five sisters and seventeen doppelgängers.

Of my siblings I’m the only one here.

And slowly all my doppelgängers are joining.

And when I can I’ll list all their blogs here.

We aren’t fully telepathic to each other but do sense some strong emotions and can end up sharing nightmares/dreams and feel each other's pain, though this is sporadic.

Engaged to Zak Halstead and @shepardstales Gordon Lawson.

Go on anon and talk to my muse as their child.

Bonus points for hinting the other parent. 

Sorry I haven’t really haven’t really been posting much. If you’ve noticed, I’ve, uh… I started writing again. I’m happy too, while I do it. And I know this isn’t my writing blog, but… I just wanted to share that, since I know that not everyone knows I’m a writer.

If you have been using my blog to doomscroll and self harm, please stop. I implore you, please stop. You cannot keep burying yourself in misery.

@multifanderwrites has plenty of stuff to look through.

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.
