A friendly reminder to please stop using self-depreciating remarks or humor about your writing. When you do so, you train your brain to believe it, to see all of the flaws, ignore all of the good points, and it drains all of the fun out of the writing experience. It also sets people’s expectations of your work when they see you don’t even have faith in your own work, and harms you in the long run.
So, let’s all say something nice about our writing, or in the very least something neutral. Instead of ‘Sorry, this is probably terrible lol’ try ‘I had fun working on this piece’ or ‘Here it is, hope you enjoy it :)’ and see how doing this over time affects your way of thinking.
Even if you don’t think it’s the greatest, you Wrote an Entire story By Your Self. Like, you popped it into being from your brain. HOW COOL IS THAT?! Really, super cool =D You did that, and you should be proud. Is it like your favorite author’s writing? No, but that makes it even more special because it’s a unique snowflake and no one else could have written that concept exactly like you just did. Give yourself a high five or a pat on the back, you writer you =)
Sometimes I'll question myself. Doubt if you'll call it that, and I hate admitting it. I hate admitting I'm not sure of myself.
Sometimes I wish I can just walk up to my family and they'll greet me as "Hey, Eli!" Or "Young man, how've you been?".
Sometimes I wish I would've listened to my instincts about certain people to avoid my heart being hurt and my mind being messed with.
Sometimes I wish to simply cry when I haven't in literally weeks, that being a long time for me again, because I know its getting bad again, I just don't wanna accept it.
Sometimes I wish to be okay, and be normal. I just wanna be okay, because being drained is horrifically scarring.

“How are you still single?”
“If you count all the dating sims I play then I, currently, have like 20 boyfriends.”

Swagger: I got no sleep last night...
Fitz: You know when you can't sleep it means someone's thinking about you?
