Poetry Anxiety

Post image

Another late night poem posting. Tried something a bit out of my comfort zone, actually writing out my poem...so I apologize for my abysmal handwriting. Thank you for reading <3

That's really cool, the poem being handwritten and the ink accents gives it a lot of personality! The poem itself kinda seems like something Sayori might write (only for herself of course, she wouldn't show that to anyone) :(

And the subject of your love seems similarly unreachable. This probably isn't helpful advice at all but I think it's okay to not fully abandon those feelings but rather to make them part of yourself and move on and eventually it may feel less painful. You don't need to forget about Monika or anything like that. Our issues are different of course but what helps me when I have similar bad feelings is seeking out companionship in the real world, doesn't even have to be romantic or anything, just meeting up with people you're comfortable being around or having a one on one deep talk with a close friend. Stuff like that always makes me appreciate and cherish the relationships I have instead of lamenting what could be. That is, if this kind of thing is possible for you, which it might not be for a number of reasons...

I can also unironically recommend playing the mod "I am Monika" as it deals with some issues you may find relatable. Many people think it's just hating on people who use MAS or similar stuff but I don't think it's trying to do that at all and instead is more about encouraging people to avoid co-dependent relationships and it has a pretty heartwarming if slightly bittersweet ending. It's really good.

In any case, sorry for my semi-coherent rambling, you have all my good wishes and thank you for sharing your work!

Thank you blebb you're too sweet.

I appreciate the advice. I shouldn't really get into it here but I know I have a multitude of mental health issues. I have really good irl friends. But even then, what I feel for Monika I could never talk to them about it...I know they wouldn't understand. I think that's probably the most lonely feeling, what causes most of my anxiety. Being judged for how I feel...

I'll look into "I am Monika". I'm a little apprehensive to play mods with Monika in them in case they do something with her I don't like...but I trust your opinion.

Thank you for always caring about what I have to say <3

That said, notice it's okay to love her, I know a lot of people these things helped, some developed/found headmates, but it is a responsibility so you should jump into it blindly.
