Looking forward to your *NEXT* update, Mariam! My anticipation is annoying the other customers, so they asked me to wait out in the lobby... =P I LOOK FORWARD TO MORE EPICNESS! <3
A friend recently sent me this regarding a program that she was working on and I think with respect to your work it applies to you here too! :3
"Chris,
Along with my therapy I am doing strength work to build positive thinking of myself and my life.
It takes 45 days to change a thought [Chris's response: Actually, I've heard it ranges from 30-days to 90-days or more, it varies based upon the source, who's making that claim, the particular "habit", whether it's reinforced, etc.]. To help you restructure negative thoughts about yourself you can repeat Positive affirmations 3-5 times daily that help you start retraining your brain to think positively about yourself. I’ve been doing this for 3 months and it’s been incredibly helpful. I started out with 5 fundamental ones: I am worthy, I am deserving, I am capable, I and lovable, I am enough. I then added to the list. I am strong. I am resilient. If there’s one you can quite believe you can say I am choosing to ... so I am choosing to accept my body, I am choosing to be happy, etc. Say this list 3-5 times a day and then you can start finding evidence each one is true. I am lovable because I am a kind, caring person. Etc. These should ideally be done morning and night and then you can record them and listen to the in the car or throughout your day. You can put on your list of positive affirmations anything you want to believe about yourself. One of mine is I am young and full of energy which is much better than constantly telling yourself I’m exhausted.
Also to go hand in hand with this is listing all the things you are grateful for. First start with a list of as many as you can think of. Then each day whether morning or night, list three things you were grateful for that day.
Hope this helps. Much love Chris. ❤️"

Now, GO GET THINKING POSITIVE, MARIAM-SENSEI! GO WRITE YOUR STORIES OF EPICNESS! STAY POSITIVE! DON'T LET YOUR DOUBTS GET YOU DOWN AND BEAT YOU UP! YOU CAN DO THIS! YOU CAN WRITE AWESOME AND AMAZING STORIES THAT MY ADHD ASS WANTS TO READ! SO ***PLEASE!!!*** DON'T GIVE UP!!!
and *no*, I will *NOT* apologize for shouting, because YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO BE POSITIVE FOR IN YOUR STORIES/LIFE, BECAUSE YOUR STORIES ARE AMAZING AND SHOULD BE FEATURED! <3 :3 AND I DON'T SAY THAT TO BE SASSY...
Oh, I have other friends who should too, BTW. I'd send you a link, if I didn't think it would be too trolly [gotta support your friends & Tapas authors, since it's SO much more difficult for them to get noticed, but likewise, they need SOOOOO much more support because of the inequality between comics and novels, etc., but I don't want to be wrongfully invasive by sharing stuff on your wall and invade your space. If you want, I can share or send it as a PM, if you want...? Either way, ...]
YOU'RE AWESOME LIKE YOUR STORIES!!! [eats popcorn]
DEAL WITH IT! <3 ;3

Thank you so much!!! Ugh I feel like i'm being such a bother to you. I posted a new story that I dedicated to you, as a thank you for always supporting me <3
AWE!~ No!~ You are *NOT* being a bother!~ :3 A Perfectionist? DEFINITELY!~ >< But, *not* a bother!~ How could you POSSIBLY be a bother?! I mean... I'M "THE BOTHER!~" It's my frigging nickname [or, at least, *one* of the ones my dad titled me because I would NEVER leave him alone, and ALWAYS demanded his attention, his time, patience, etc., and that he be a nonstop question answering machine for ME!~, so... yeah, unless you wanna become Bother 2.0, or JOIN ME ON THE DARK SIDE!~ >_> there is only room for ONE bother, here!~ Muahahahaha!~ AND THAT IS *ME!* DEARY! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!~]. So, yeah... You are *not* a bother!~
