How did I start writing?
(This is some hardcore emotional stuff, so bare with me, also. Trigger warning)
One night I was really depressed and I really wanted to die. At the time, I didn't have a lot of friends so there wasn't really anyone there for me. So in my distress, I started writing. It was a story about a girl who expressed all of her fears to her friends and her friends were super amazing and supportive. I guess when I was writing, I wrote what I wish would happen. In doing so, I put myself in the position of the character and makes me feel what they're feeling. It also gave me the feeling of control over my own life. Even if it wasn't reality.
