A shout out to all the rarepairs writers and artists:
Your pairing might not ever grow bigger than just you but don’t ever let that stop you from writing or drawing it.
Make those lonely unwanted babies fall in love and you never know, you might start to make others love them too.
Please let your the creators in your fandom know you appreciate them. Be it an artist, writer, gif maker, edit maker, crafter. Everyone wants to know they’re not doing something for nothing. A tiny like or reblog, a ao3 comment or a plethora of flailing comments in tags, just show them you want them to keep bringing their talents to your fandom. It can make someone’s day just that much brighter.
Your creations have worth even if you don’t think they do. Someone somewhere thinks they do and that’s amazing. Remember that.
list off at least five things that you’re grateful for today – hold those things close through your journey, and try your best to remember them when you’re feeling lost; you will get through this
you don’t have to be anything for anyone but yourself – you’re enough as you are, and it is wonderful for you to be here
you’re doing a great job, your ideas and opinions are valued, you are so brave and strong to keep going even when it’s hard to do so – i believe in you, please try your best to not forget to stay hydrated and to take care of yourself

Your best on your bad days doesn’t have to be the same as your best on your good days to be impressive. You’re trying really hard and I’m proud of you.” in a pink speech bubble.]
