I mean I’ve said it before but I think the reason I love hurt/comfort so much re: that post that goes around, is also just that I… Things in my life aren’t okay? And I don’t often feel like… Like I can make it through or that things will be okay? I hurt my characters and put them through awful shit because I /know/ they WILL make it through and be okay and have friends and family to support them. They can be open and honest and no matter how much they hurt things will end okay. I can’t guarantee that for myself. So I give it to them. And I guess the hurting is just so I can make the comfort so much more powerful and idk. Sorry to ramble about this
