Vyne, thank you for the grace of anonymity. This interaction was with me, and I'll speak to my own accountability. I could have been more thoughtful with how I approached this, and I'm sorry I hurt you and caused you stress.
- I messaged her mod because I figured directly messaging her would cross a boundary. This person had previously expressed they were fine with me so I didn’t know it would be an issue. For that, I apologize. I was unaware they were uncomfortable with me because our DMs were fine
So this prompts the question I'll conclude these musings with: Why? Why the insistence, or as you could reasonably call it, stubbornness?
I've hinted at the "answer" in here but this gets at one of the more fundamental pieces of who I am and moreover who I choose to be. (End🧵)
I give detailed affirmations/ compliments because I look for them. Constantly. Like that switch is always on - its a "skill perk" of my ADHD that I've lassoed into working for me. But I have things to observe in the first place because of others' pursuit of their own peace.
The greatest way I know to honor that is to learn. To hear. And I am always on the lookout for positive affirmations that I can say with honesty and conviction. I'm good with specifics and have an eye for detail, which is kind of the mechanics behind that.
@Musical_Rich Ahhh likewise. I spent a lot of time in practice rooms as well - the music students only booked about half the time slots so there were always ones I could drop into and play 😌
@Musical_Rich Weirdest part is that broadcasting the audio through Discord to anyone else in the call would actually be a challenge. DAW routing is weird 🫠 once I sort it though 👀
@VyneHellebore It's hard not to recommend it. For me, it was one of the most affecting pieces of art in the medium of video games I've ever played.
Without any details, the experience was singular. Like this game does cool ass stuff I've never seen a game do.
