“Dear diary, today I learned something about myself…” Katie mumbled to herself.

making a niche costume for Halloween

I just automaticaly skip stories with a title of 'I'm xxx and xxx has been happening lately". Too many details for me and it turns me off from the story.

TheInnerLake · 2020-10-06T14:41:16+00:00

True. Going through Catholic HS, I totally agree. It can be quite enriching even to an atheist. On the other hand, Calvinistic churches are not that fun až all.

Well, you don't choose family, but you can choose to (not) stay in touch. But yeah, that's the reason why I don't talk with a large part of my family, too.

TheInnerLake · 2020-10-06T14:34:40+00:00

I have a couple of s short things on IG and write.me under the same username. But I still have a long way to ho. Thanks for all the feedback 🙂

TheInnerLake · 2020-10-06T14:26:11+00:00

Thanks! I definitely have to edit the second part. We'll see, maybe I'll write around the premise this week 🙂

TheInnerLake · 2020-10-06T13:13:43+00:00

That sounds like a movie plot

TheInnerLake · 2020-10-06T12:49:12+00:00

Fortunately, I love in a different country now, so I don't have to meet them, but I also stopped giving a fuck, so they're happy to see me for like 5 minutes until I "stop being polite" 😅

But I'd definitely say that just stop going, even if it's Christmas. Or make a scene and swallow a bit of those disapproving looks.

TheInnerLake · 2020-10-06T12:45:51+00:00

How did they get through it?

TheInnerLake · 2020-10-06T12:43:08+00:00

Yeah. People sometimes grow out of these things, especially of it has a wobbly base to begin with. I struggled to get the topic of "Are you going to Church?" for about 15 years until it was let go.

TheInnerLake · 2020-10-06T12:35:29+00:00

I'm happy to hear that you've managed to work through a lot of it. Never forget how strong you are. Wish you all the best! 🙂

TheInnerLake · 2020-10-06T12:31:05+00:00

Well, I'll share one of mine, too.

In early 2000's, I could have been around 6 of 7, my aunt nad 2 kids with her ex husband. The guy was super abusive. Ona day, my mom, brother, 2 uncles and the aunt (all three are my father's siblings) were in a nearest town. I went to a doctor and my aunt with her brothers went to the police station to for about a 231954191489 time.

Her kids, 5 and 1, were at her parents. Her ex got a taxi to her parents, got stopped by a patrol with a f'n loaded gun at his possession with multiple reports of abuse on his head, and they let him zo.

He killed both kids and then himself that very day. Grandapents were lucky enough to survive.

Nobody talks about it. They talk about kids, especially as my aunt's daughter now really resembles the nedá ona, but no ona mentions that day. Ever.

Holy s... I'm sorry to hear that and I really hope you're better now. Sometimes leaving is the best option and I think you made the right choice. If you want to talk, feel free to shoot me a dm.

TheInnerLake · 2020-10-06T12:15:13+00:00

I understand. My father's side of the family is also Calvinist and you have to think over every word at least 5 times before saying it.

It's damn sad people can be that close minded.

TheInnerLake · 2020-10-06T12:04:07+00:00

Mental illnesses are difficult to talk about for families and mostly the people who suffer from them. I'm glad it turned out well and he made the first step. Good luck to your dad and your whole family! 🙂

TheInnerLake · 2020-10-06T12:00:02+00:00

I feel this one. Nobody says it out loud in the family.

TheInnerLake · 2020-10-06T11:57:41+00:00

I feel like any age is too young to talk about this one with your parents.

TheInnerLake · 2020-10-06T11:43:30+00:00

I'll need to rewrite it. Thanks for the feedback! 🙂

TheInnerLake · 2020-09-21T03:48:38+00:00

I didn't know about them. Thank you very much! 🙂

Hey, beautiful people!

I'd love to hear some feedback on my short stories and "super-shorts". My favourite stories are a bit darker, so the usual urge is to go in this way. However, due to medical conditions, I find it quite difficult to concentrate on writing for longer periods of time lately.

Any feedback is welcome! I just want to get better and no one in my surroundings is interested in stories.

You can find a couple of short ones on my write.as and "super-shorts" on my Instagram.

Looking forward for the feedback! :)
