(no subject)

I had a workshop thing I went to this week that was all about balancing your work with your personal life, and there was a lot of talk about learning when to faze out the negativity to make the things you love more enjoyable. And that really hit home for me in terms of fandom and how I need to take control of what makes ME happy, and not let the things others around me say effect me so severely to the point that I end up depressed and sad. I've always been really sensitive, but I also internalize it, which turns into passive-aggressive behavior that no one wants to be around.

I've been thinking about this a lot, and I'm going to try to make conscious effort to not take things so personally and to do what makes me happy, because it's FANDOM, and fandom shouldn't make me stressed out or depressed, you know? What is fandom if there's no more enjoyment in it?

This is mostly me talking out loud and using this text box as a therapist. I really do appreciate the hell out of you all, though, and I feel like I don't say it enough. ♥

Ugh, tl;dr! Sorry. /o\

Erm, how 'bout some chatter about girl!Jon? ( okay, good )
