%title {title}:[:[:G:r:a:t:i:t:u:d:e: :]:]: :J:o:u:r:n:a:l:%date {date}I'm not sure if i should write much right now, im very tired and still in a bit of a mood, but something quite cool happened. for the first time i was able to quell my growing "darkness" through the experimentation part of my identity. that i shouldn't be afraid to try new things and be open to situations. it held me down and kept me safe and the darkness, though not banished totally, was thoroughly pierced. i want to write more of those. Im grateful for the pieces of myself I'm nailing to my future.
