I would call my work an avant garde.

Every time I say something new and challenge the status quo.

I receive backlash.

But I push through anyway.

After a while.

Everyone copies my words and it becomes the new norm.

I should change my name to Cassandra.

It started with therapy.

I received backlash when I spoke about it for the first time.

I spoke about wanting to read realistic content in books.

I received backlash again.

I spoke about DNFing and trigger warnings.

I received backlash again.

I spoke about having differences in opinion.

I received backlash again.

I spoke about people pleasing and saying no and setting boundaries.

I received backlash again.

I spoke about having a close-knit circle and para social relationships.

I received backlash again.

Now there’s a revolution.

And everyone is literally my clones.

It’s funny how people are so opposed to new ideas and revolution.

Their first response is always a backlash.

After that, they copy.
