Geez...I feel so bad that I have not submitted like anything lately...I've just been stuck in this rut I guess. Every so once in a while I kind of get into this funk were I'm just sad and frustrated all the time. I hate feeling like that, but it happens and I have to just deal with it. So, I'm gonna try harder to get stuff written and posted...mostly because I really love the fact that people actually like what I write.
For a while I kind of stopped writing because I really didn't have anyone that I could let read it...at least not anyone that took my love of writing seriously enough to not laugh at the request in the first place. About a year ago I also was diagnosed with several generalized and social anxiety. It's been hard to really balance myself out and sometimes I'm still just really hard on myself, you know? It's hard to be worrying about things that I can't control, but I can't stop the anxiety attacks.
I just wasn't feeling necessarily inspired to write anything...but then I created an account on here and it's really helped me out. I know, weird right? When I first started putting stuff on here I was seriously nervous...it'd been so long since I'd let anybody see my writings.
It's still hard for me to believe that people actually kind of like the way I write. I think I'm my worst critic when it comes to really anything I enjoy doing, and it's just been really nice to have positive feedback. I know my writing isn't the best, not by far. It has been a good four years since I've actually written anything at all, so I'm a bit rusty.
But anyway, I really want to write things that people like, things that can bring joy to people's lives. Because some days the only thing that really keeps me going is to delve into a different world through the stories I find on this website. I want to be able to make you guys smile and laugh, and maybe help you through a hard time by giving you a few minutes of freedom in a whole other world where your problems and struggles don't exist.
So, until I'm feeling a bit happier, and not so down and frustrated with myself and my life (hahaha), I will start updating again. I really appreciate all of you who have favorited and commented on my stories...it makes me so happy, you have no idea.
I get so excited about it, so thanks a lot and I hope you all have a wonderful day and weekend! (Gosh, it's almost here, hallelujah.
)
