also, a little note, I'm not going to take down my old writing--even though it's pretty bad in some aspects--because I'm not ashamed of it. I was proud of it when I wrote it, and that's what matters, and I'm still proud of it and proud that I kept it so I can look back on it. Sure it's not great, definitely not the best, it may be cringey as hell, but I wrote it. It's mine, and I take credit for it. Not everything I write is going to be amazing and awe-inspiring--especially the stuff I write to vent--and I'm okay with that.
Sometimes I want to delete everything and just start over, but that writing is part of who I am as a writer and a person. I guess what I'm trying to say is that everyone starts somewhere. Be proud. Even if you started out writing cringey Hetalia fanfictions based on a cartoon (that i still love, you all can fight me on that), be proud. Say "hell yea, i wrote that. it sucks, but that's okay. not everything I write will be amazing"
Wow this got really long,, I apologize lol ~ Gabe
