important notes:

- hello lovelies, welcome to my little corner of the internet. this is where i talk about positive stuff! there won't be as much politics /drama/discourse here – i intend for this space to be safe, comfortable, and peaceful. however, you are welcome to share your opinions on anything; as long as you keep it respectful! :o) this is also an LGBTQ+ safe space.

- this is a space for everyone. i'll add more when i see fit, but for now, everyone is welcome to interact.

- no nsfw interactions, please. i am very much a minor.

tags i use:

• love letters from jia : answering asks, sending comfort letters, etc

• jia talks : jia's interactions in general

• jia's musings : my monologues, soliloquies, etc.

• jia's rules : self explanatory XD

• more will be added as this blog grows.

🔖 special note!

lovelettersfromjia will be undergoing a transformation!

we'll be embarking on a project called "letters from a stranger", where you get to send in your own advice and positivity and tips and things of that sort. from strangers, to strangers! i hope you will participate in it. thank you for sticking around!

ps. i'll still be doing my regular quotes and stuff! just this on top of it <3

hello jia! i hope you're doing well :) congrats on all of your big achievements so far! i wanted to come into your inbox because i was wondering how do you make friends on tumblr? because i've been trying to interact with other blogs (ie: reblogging posts and leaving comments, going into their inboxes, etc.) but it feels like whatever i do just gets left unnoticed. a lot of the blogs i try to interact with seem to only interact with the people in their group and despite being in the same fandom, it feels like they want nothing to do with me :( im sure this feels a little heavy, so please take your time with this. if you're uncomfortable, feel free to discard this i just needed to get it off of my chest. thank you, and i love the purpose of this blog so so much :)

hi anonnie! thank you for the well wishes :o)

i think i want to start off with how proud i am with you being able to tell someone. good job! what i'm going to say may unintentionally be a little blunt, but take it with a pinch of salt, hm?

i would genuinely suggest finding your own group of people instead. some groups may be too tightly-knitted to enter or join. i think – take this with a pinch of salt – that it also depends on how you're going about with it, because some people may be uncomfortable, if that makes sense? for the longest time, i have not allowed dms from non-mutuals on my other sideblog. some people (non mutuals, in this case) dm-ed me there to become friends and i was extremely uncomfortable as well. this eventually led to me not wanting to be mutuals with them. :")

and of course, it may just be that others may be uncomfortable around new people. i'm sure all of us understand the comforting concept of familiarity, and how we tend to stick to those we know and understand the most. this potentially affects how we deal with new people and new relationships around us, i feel. but it really depends on each person.

i suggest finding common grounds as well. you've mentioned that you're in the same fandom as them, yes? talk about your favourite characters. i think you can try to reach out to different people as well. perhaps when one door is closed, another is open! and take your time – time shapes people together and eventually, things will fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.

i'm sorry that you feel that way right now, nonnie – but i wish you all the best in your journey here on tumblr. if you're into genshin impact, my inbox is always open @ohmykazuha, if you'd like to make new friends. :")

all the love,

jia xx

psa: my ask box is always open if you'd like to talk/rant/cry. if you'd like your ask to be private, please send it off anon, so i can reply to you privately! or if you wish, i can post my response here for your anonymous ask.

love is... reassuring. love is being there for someone, even though you're busy as hell. it is holding the hair of your lover back as they scream and cry, each sob hurting your heart. it is running your fingers through their hair to calm down. it is falling asleep in their arms, your hands intertwined.

love is making time for them. love, love is taking the time out of your busy schedule for them. it is the simplest things – eating lunch by the river, having a picnic, watching the stars in the backyard. love is being present together and appreciating being with each other.

love is waiting for them, and walking with them through life. love is reassuring them through all the trials and tribulations, that they will be there. it is being patient with each other, it is communication, it is respect for each other.

love is unconditional. it is getting my coffee order wrong but i still love you anyway. love is... love is still finding the space in your heart to care for them, even after they have hurt you. it is finding the space within you to forgive them, and embracing the peace that comes after.

love is flexible. it doesn't have to be romantic. it ca be familial and platonic. love is an understanding, an agreement, a fated alignment between two parties. love is knowing boundaries, and keeping within them.

love is caring. it is emphasising. it is crying over someone, because they mean so much to you. it is buying their favourite takeout meal for them after a long day. it is a handwritten card, a bouquet of flowers, a cup of tea. it is staying up till 2am to rest with each other. it is covering your lover with a blanket as they fall asleep on the couch.

love is confusing. but love.. when love gets recognised, it can easily be the most wonderful thing in the world.
