Maven (famous)

The most annoying thing about being famous is having to tell everyone how famous you are.

  • I don’t know if I would say downsides but for me it just didn’t work at all. I imagine it works well for loads of people but all it did for me was make me look for more scientific reasons to hate myself. Hence saying that Maurice could cite sources.

    Instead of “your art is bad” I would be thinking of every little detail I was doing wrong individually as well as convincing myself that I will never be able to shake those issues. Other stuff did end up helping but that specifically wasn’t for me.

    For a while in therapy we tried personifying my self hate and giving those thoughts an actual name. In my case that name was Maurice and I do not remember why. That was every time a negative thought happened I could be like “No Maurice, you’re an idiot. I won’t listen to you.”

    Unfortunately it turns out Maurice can cite sources.


  • That’s very much up to the person. It’s also not always true that people have a preference… I personally do but I also know people who genuinely don’t care which is used as long as it’s one of the listed ones.

    For me personally, I’m very masc presenting so while I prefer they/them… He/him is tolerated and pretty expected so I don’t discount people for using it.
