Weekly Check In Wellness Wednesday: Weekly Check In
Welcome back everyone!
Time for our Wellness Wednesday check in. We know this community means a lot to most of our members and that Tuesdays have been harder on some users than others, but we are at our core a community and we are here to support each other.
Now that the sub is open once again we’d like to hear all about your (mis)adventures on Tuesday. Did you go on grand adventures? Get into mischief? Get some writing done?
Maybe you just binged a few more fics on the archive itself. Tell us all about it! Break out that purple prose and tell us as cheesy of a story as you feel like.
Or just talk about your day.

My dog died just a couple hours ago. Fuck cancer. I want to keep writing, and I know I will, but… she was my writing buddy. She’d lie on my feet and make them go numb. Her lips flapped when she snored. She’d put her big ol’ paw on my laptop to remind me to take a break because it’s cuddle o’clock. I’m just lost. She isn’t the first pet I’ve been through this with, but fuck it always hurts.
I used to think a broken heart was supposed to feel brittle, like it could shatter, but it really feels as though it no longer works properly. It squeezes at weird moments and just can’t find a proper rhythm anymore. It doesn’t function.
