Hello, I just wanted to vent about things and talk about the story. For over the majority of my life, I've suffered from a constant sense of dread and hopelessness, probably due to my overthinking and constant depression lurking in the corner of my mind. It has been eating at me slowly like a terminal illness and it really has affected my functionality as a human being. I have become socially anxious and awkward to the point that going outside just makes me incredibly nervous. Putting in the fact that I'm in college now just makes me feel an overbearing sense of responsibility and expectations. Even if my family said that they would be proud of me no matter what I do, I just can't help but feel like I've wasted a lot of my talents and that I may never recover from the hellhole that I dug myself into. For the story, I've written it back when I was still in highschool. I've originally planned it to be my own take on DDLC and include my life, my experiences, my learnings, and stuff I just want to get out there. I wanted my story to be something that I can be proud of, something I wouldn't feel ashamed of, and something that might even reach out to people who may suffer or relate to my writing. I've always been a perfectionist despite not being perfect myself. I keep putting this high standard on myself to do well and not make too many mistakes. I know my writing isn't perfect and sometimes I just feel like it isn't good enough which demotivates me and just makes me wonder if I should even bother.

Part 2: I still am trying to write despite my depression worsening slightly overtime and my eventual disinterest in DDLC itself. It just feels gut-wrenching to pour out time and effort into this story and just feel unmotivated, disappointed, and bothered if I don't make any progress. At the same time, if I do make progress, I wonder if it is any good enough. I often find myself asking, "Is my grammar alright," "I need to widen my vocabulary," "Are my interactions good enough? Do they feel natural? Forced? Or even realistic at all." It really is just difficult to even imagine how bad I have it when other people out there in the world are going through much worse than I am. I just keep overthinking and I will never be proud of anything that I do. I have regretted almost everything in my own life and I just want to do something. Just something. Anyways, thank you for bearing with this gloomy message. I must apologize for disappointing anyone.
