what’s everybody’s opinions on dream sequences in books? are they tacky/stupid always or ok if used tastefully

things I’m looking forward to about getting an apartment

• sleeping on a bed instead of a couch
  
• having a place to put all my belongings (ie a dresser/closet for my clothes instead of just a pile)
• not having to compete for the bathroom with 5 other people
• not having to worry about there being pee all over the floor of the bathroom constantly
• being able to cook and eat whatever I want, whenever I want
• not having to worry about censoring myself when I talk to my friends on skype
• not having to do contortions to squeeze through various hallways of my house because of all the garbage
• not having garbage piled up absolutely everywhere
• being able to decorate my space
• having like. room to work on personal art projects
• not feeling like my life is dictated by other people’s timing
• finally being an adult
• being able to maybe invite people over
• the general concept of privacy and having control over my own life
• getting away from my horrible, horrible family
• not having to pay for groceries for 6 people and going to the grocery store every single day of my life
• shortening my commute

things I’m not looking forward to about getting an apartment

• paying rent
  
• paying utilities
• paying to do laundry
• basically paying for a whole bunch of shit
• what if I fuck up living independently and my home becomes a horrible horrible depression pit. that would be bad
• basically various disaster scenarios that I can’t help but conjure up
• if I do move to MA how in the world will I cope with the new self image of being a masshole… :( [and dealing with the related tax shenanigans of living and working in different states]

I mean, I’m deep in the hell of watching youtube videos where people say things like “and today I’m going to frost my sconces” so maybe I’m being overambitious

going to see apartments is a neverending torture fest, but otoh, I’m considering the general concept of wall art, so

look. I am the type of person who is tempted to ask to tour an apartment that a) is smaller than I want, b) has no interior photos on its listing, and c) is more expensive than it should be, just because it has a cute exterior

by virtue of being entirely self taught in terms of cooking, my knife skills are nonexistent and thus I am a menace to myself. yesterday I cut and blistered my index finger with the back of a knife because I was holding it weird

henstomper:

YA novel: what if you were sorted into an arbitrary category at birth and that defined your entire life and you were harshly punished for trying to break out of it

me in like 8th grade: wow this is really compelling and relatable for me.         and theres no possible reason why

me, setting up a parallel in my writing to something that’s going to happen like 20 chapters down the line: oh this is going to be so good when we get to the payoff
