tea, thank you so much for your prayers and advice! you’re the one who vented to me yesterday :3 i’ve finally decided to walk away and distance myself by block-unblocking, and muting their account on x, at least for my own peace of mind. though, if i’m being honest, i’m a little scared they might think something of it because i block-unblocking them.. i really hope this was the right thing to do. thank you so much again, tea. i hope your days are always lovely and that you get to love your idols in peace! 🫰🏻
Look at you, Teacup dear, daring to take another step towards your own peace! I’m so pleased to hear that it has brought a better sort of weather to your heart. And please, don’t scold yourself for feeling what you feel. Just remember that another person’s tempest needn’t turn the energies you’ve worked so hard to clear into thunderclouds again. And oh, you needn’t ask twice about our conversations! I’ve been enjoying them immensely, and I’m fond of the way our words keep finding one another. So, keep your heart fed with the things that make it sing, and let joy have its seat at your table. Again, thank you for coming by. 🤍🫖 God bless!

tea, can i vent to you a little? i hope that’s okay. i’ve been feeling really sad lately.
i’ve become a huge fan of something, let’s just call it X, but it turns out my heart just can’t handle reading all the hateful comments people make about X. so X has a rival, let’s call them Z, and the rival’s fans can be really nasty with the things they say. and one of my mutuals turned out to be one of those people who says awful things about X, too.
we’re not close friends or anything, we just follow each other and interact once in a while. one time, i posted something RELATED to X, and they replied to it, so i responded nicely. but then, out of nowhere, they completely went off-topic and started trashing X.
honestly, i didn’t really care at first. then they changed their whole layout to Z, and i genuinely had no problem with that. it wasn’t until they suddenly started tweeting about how they changed their layout and how they only wanted to hate on my X that it started bothering me. the timing was just way too coincidental.
because before they found out i liked X, they never really tweeted about hating X this much. and then i saw one of their mutuals replying to their post, asking, “since when are you a Z fan?” which made the whole thing feel even weirder to me.
now i feel so drained whenever they show up on my tl because all they ever seem to post is hate toward X. if you were in my position, what do you think you’d do, tea?
i’m sorry this is so random. i just wanted to get this off my chest, but i wasn’t sure who i could talk to about it. and btw, i really love seeing you interact with and respond to all kinds of things, tea!
Oh, Teacup, I’m sorry you had to go through that. Be that as it may, thank you for trusting me with your thoughts, especially when they might not have been easy to put into words. If there’s one thing I hope you recognise in yourself, it’s the kindness it takes to stop and reflect before letting resentment take the wheel. You could have met their actions with the same energy, yet here you are, giving the situation a second thought instead. That says something about the person you choose to be, even when someone else hasn’t treated you with the same consideration. Am I right?
Also… if you’ve said yourself that the two of you aren’t particularly close, must this person really be given so much space in your mind? Maybe that energy could be spent on something that brings you joy instead? Like stanning X to your heart’s content. Let their actions remain theirs, and give yourself permission to enjoy the things that make you happy. Not every unpleasant encounter deserves a place in your day, anyway.
If you were to ask me what I would do in your place, I’d probably choose to walk away. Maybe that says more about my tendency to close doors than anything else, but it is the most honest answer I can give you. Still, I don’t think you need to turn your leaving into a declaration or sever the connection in one fell swoop. Sometimes, you can take a step back, stop offering the same access to yourself, and let the distance grow until it feels natural. You can choose yourself without making an enemy of someone else. And when the time comes to go, you can do so without hatred, knowing that not everyone who hurts you needs to become someone you despise.
For now, though, how about giving your attention to something that makes your heart happier? Go stan X, enjoy your favourite things, and let yourself have a good time without allowing this situation to take up bigger room than it deserves. You don’t need solve every unpleasant feeling today, dear. I’ll keep you in my prayers, Teacup, and I hope that, in time, peace finds you in the places you least expect! 🤍

Hey, Tea. It’s me, though I doubt you know who I am. Got any good romance movies to recommend? Been wanting to watch one lately, but can’t seem to find anything worth watching. Figured I’d take notes from the movies since my own love life’s been a bit of a lost cause lately.
Ah, I see. I know that feeling, and lucky for you, I have two prescriptions for your heart. If you need a reminder that love, in all its messiness, is still something worth hoping for, Forget Paris (1995) might be just the ticket. But if you’d rather find comfort in a film that understands how lonely love can sometimes feel, even when you’re not alone in it, then Celeste & Jesse Forever (2012) may speak to you more personally. One might restore your faith in love; the other might make you feel less alone in questioning it. So, which one does your heart need tonight, Teacup?

Did you go without your glasses for special occasions before you got contacts?
So sorry! I’m afraid I can’t really remember anymore…. I’ve been wearing contacts since 2018, so my memory of that has long since gone. Is there a particular reason you’re asking all this, Teacup? If you’d want to tell me privately, you’re more than welcome to come by my DMs and I’ll answer you there

Hey, we’ve been in the same DC server for a while and I’d really like to get closer with you. Would you be open to that?
There are regrets, certainly, but ‘what if’ has never felt like a place I wanted to live in anymore. I spent enough years sitting with the past to realise that wondering what could’ve been won’t change what comes next. So these days, I’d rather take whatever is left in my hands and see what I can make of it. That’s the only formula I’ve found: stop looking behind me, step forward, and give my own future something to become. And for that, I’d say thank you for asking, dear
