Absolutely true. Reminds me of someone (a "scorpion") who I had to cut ties with a few months back. This was an interesting reminder of that person. Very well written and thought out! Its very hard for me to put emotional subjects like these into words, so to watch you do it seamlessly is amazing.
thankyou for your kind words! i think we all have a scorpion haha, and its best to prioritise urself sometimes (as the frog). i find myself backing up my feelings with something else as a foundation.(a tip for writing more emotional subjects) but i think that’s how i tend to process my own emotions anyway, i end up just writing them all down lol!
I think the scorpions are blameless until they gain consciousness. I met people who have treated me horribly but never hated them because the maim was done in infancy. We were children, and we didn't quite know what we did; every action was a reaction from a higher power within our lives (parents getting a divorce, domestic violence, grief). We were sightless. But then, when we grow up and people learn, they gain the ability to rationalise properly and yet fail to change. That's to blame. I have tendencies I am ashamed of because of my upbringing. I don't pretend they are nonexistent because that would be neglecting a part of who I am. I work on them, not necessarily for the commodity of others but because we are a chain. There's nothing else but us in this blue dot. Animals and plants aren't people, and if you are constantly stinging people, they'll leave you. It's easy as that. The change hurts. It does because it forces you to face things you thought were buried. But it's necessary; it makes you weightless. (Love your writing.)
thankyou so much for reading! i agree i think when the scorpion is self aware yet repeats the same mistake over and over it has its self to blame. i think some pple simply never work on themselves, which i’ve always found an odd thing to wrap my head around. im glad u enjoyed it!
This is definitely something that has crossed my mind before — just couldn’t put it into words.
im glad i could put that feeling into words for you! thank you for reading ⭐️
