Call For Submissions — Toxic Positivity
When you put the word toxic in front of any word, it severely alters its meaning. Masculinity is a beautiful part of human nature, but slap the word toxic in front of it and visions of abuse and patriarchy immediately come to mind.
But what about positivity? Surely it’s not possible to be toxic and positive, right? Wrong, at least in my opinion. Toxic positivity is just as dangerous as any other word that toxic precludes.
I’m leaving myself out of this one, though. We want to hear your stories of toxic positivity. What does it mean to you? Have you experienced it? Do you think it’s harmful or is it necessary in this world filled with negativity?
Same rules still apply:You can submit to this or ANY of our past writing prompts. Just scroll through our previous newsletters. They’ll be marked “Call for Submissions.”If you’re already a writer for CRY, go ahead and submit.Be as creative as you want in your submissions.
