feeling violated and unsafe. wishing this person’s obsession with me would end. the emails, texts, physical mail, and leaked audio / personal information really got to me in a way i didn’t think would. hope everyone’s staying safe out there. logging off again for a good while

music rules, expensive gear / equipment fetishization sucks, going to concerts pays the artist's bills more than anything else, and also keeping boundaries in mind (not trauma dumping/forcing a narrative on them) when speaking to an artist helps with everyone's mental health <3
