CLEAR THE AIR FOR NEW YEAR

[seasonsmods]

Hello, everyone~! ⭐

I'm Starlight ✨, here with a public forum post to end the new year with! It's called a confession booth!

Basically, this is your chance to confess something you have been holding back to start the new year off with a clean(er) record!

Oh, and every comment will be automatically anon when posted, so no need to play with settings or anything.

And of course, have a wonderful new years, everyone 💫 I hope to see you more come next year.


Oooh and one more thing. Please don't make any lewd comments on here, okay? If you need to get flirty with your anon buddies, you can make your own post. Much love~ 💕




OOC: This is a mini-minun fun event to end the new years with! Starlight herself won't make any comments or reply to anything. This comment is a free for all, threadjacking is probably a given, please mark if you'd rather avoid getting threadjacked!

Please also keep everything SFW, as this post won't be locked. You can make a secondary post of anon flirting and sexting if that's something you wanna do! A NSFW version has been posted.

Of course any potential triggering confessions should be warned about in the header.

Anon isn't OOCly on, but ICly it's always on. You'd have to hack the settings to be posting with your username.

I can't speak for anyone else, but based on what I've read at a cursory glance, it seems like these topics aren't the easiest to broach.

And their confessions might have been kept a secret for a good reason.

But who am I to talk, I suppose.

[nelinquish]

Has what I said struck a nerve?

[nelinquish]

This is true. I can also acknowledge that there are conversations that may be harder to approach, but doing it half way may do more harm than good.

Sometimes you must be blunt for someone to understand you.

[dereban]

+1 to this.

Both this world and the one I was in before doesn't have anybody from home and seeing people have their friends and families from back where they're from... it's easy to be jealous. I wouldn't wish either of these worlds on my friends, but the sentiment of missing them exists, you know?

[poisontest]

[ <-- someone who is not blunt all the time ]

It's definitely circumstantial, that's for sure.

[nelinquish]

Is it? I have strived to be so with those I converse with.

[hometown]

You could say that.

It takes courage to confess some of this stuff, even anonymously. Getting it off your chest is a relief in itself. Finding someone who empathizes is better.

Sometimes, THAT'S what people need. They need someone who understands, not someone they have to explain stuff to.

You seem to be dismissing or ignoring that. Or maybe it hasn't occurred to you that talking doesn't always solve things.

[nelinquish]

You are assuming several things. Let me ask you, where did I ignore or dismiss anything in my original statement?

I also do not need someone to explain to me, but to someone who might be able to empathize with them. Also, do I only seem to be dismissing and ignoring others?

Last is that talking can be a catalyst for action, but it doesn't have to be.

[poisontest]

Being blunt causes its own set of problems sometimes.

[badend_replay]

I see. Yes, I am lacking a certain grounding presence from my childhood.

But I suppose such people are not easy to come by, even in a world such as this.

[nelinquish]

It is up to the person I am conversing with to figure out how to take and use the information they are given.

[rustyhonesty]

I'm sorry to hear that. If you did everything you could, I doubt they would blame you, at least.

[badend_replay]

Thank you.

I needed to hear that. Too often I forget that.

I'll do my best to find a way forward. One that doesn't exchange my humanity for perceived usefulness.

[rustyhonesty]

They're the kind of thoughts that are hard to shut up, aren't they? Just wondering what could have been done better, but only being responsible for the mistakes yourself.

[rustyhonesty]

Back home.

I do have a chance, now, to be there for them. But that doesn't really change anything about how I feel.

I'm sorry you feel the same, though.

[hometown]

I said "seem to be" because that's how you're coming across. If you wanna correct that assumption, by all means.

[rustyhonesty]

Would apologizing help me feel better? Or would I just make us both feel bad.

[rustyhonesty]

I know they don't. Which makes this even more ridiculous. I don't have any reason to feel like I do.

[nelinquish]

Are you able to tell my tone from text? nuance? Can you understand my intentions any more than anyone else on this post?

If you are able to do so I would love to understand your methods.

[hometown]

Flip those questions around and apply them to yourself.

As it is, this conversation is going nowhere. Enjoy the rest of your day.

[poisontest]

I suppose that's true enough.

[dereban]

I can't say it's easy, no.

Certainly, a lot of people may have circumstances that are similar, but those people tend to already have cliques of their own already made.

[putupyourdukes]

Talking to someone? Absolutely not.

[nelinquish]

If it is not a feasible solution for your situation, then merely disregard my observation.

[badend_replay]

Are cliques really a problem here?
