Random Short Glimpses Into My Mind

Being an Unknown Creator

*Dumbster-Doof has posted an update for Random Short Glimpses Into My Mind*

As you look down at your phone, you make the decision that affects my entire existence as a writer. Do you choose to read or do you ignore the notification all together?

The question that is always on my mind when I make a post to this app.

Being an unknown creator can be the most freeing, yet most discouraging thing in the entire world.

It's free, because you don't have to worry about the content you share.

Yet it is so discouraging because you never know if people really want to read your stuff.

I constantly teeter between the two states, one being the more positive aspect of self expression while the other is much more negative and a bit power hungry.

I've always had a dream; a dream that I would one day be someone that everyone else looked upon and just knew. Someone who was famous for something that everybody else appreciated equally as much.

It's a weakness of mine to disappear when the going gets rough. When I see that no one else likes my stuff, I begin to question my drive yet again and put back together the reason why I started writing in the first place.

I write to clear my head. I write to share my emotions, and to connect with others who have felt the same way in the past. I write, because sometimes I feel like the whole world is falling apart. I write because writing is the only thing that can pull me back down to the ground again.

I write because I love it, pure, plain and simple. Without my expression, I would still be a shell of who I used to be. Without my writing I'm afraid I would be lost.

So I will continue onwards, despite my brain saying it's not worth my time. I will write what I have to for me, and I will not worry about what others are expecting from me.

I will be 100% uniquely myself, and continue on my way towards my incredibly far off and distant dreams.
