robbing graves

[qualapec]

I think I have such a strong reaction because whenever I see those things, I look at what I love to write, what seems most interestnig and honest to me, and I look at what a lot of these people seem to want, and it feels like they're saying that stories like the ones I love shouldn't exist, that my stories don't have value because I'm angry, because I can't identify with what they want, or because my favorite coping metaphors are different, it makes me feel less innately good.

I know it's kind of wrong to take it so personally but I look at my life and my experiences and my own shitty coping mechanisms and just, what they say is best wouldn't have done me any good.
