Sentimental Stories and success

I’ve always wanted to be a writer and I’ve always lived like a writer

I hoard paper, have umteen-million files and papers with ideas, can’t send a text without ensuring grammatical correction, and am weird.

I have a list of cringey stories I published and an even weirder google search history

Most of my work that isn’t pictured was uninspired drivel written for companies with pay in mind.

I never really let myself get out there because I was afraid..

I’m still afraid, but I take rejection better now; kind of.

I just don’t offer stories I care about and the stories I do offer don’t matter, so I never have to worry about being vulnerable

DON’T DO THAT!

Seriously, DON’T!

I’m pretty sure that basic level of insecurity is one of the many reasons I have a giant void where a soul should be.

If you listen to any damn thing I write – let it be this!

DO NOT BE AFRAID OF YOUR PASSION! BELIEVE IN YOUR ABILITIES!

if you can’t believe in your abilities, at least try until you can overcome that hurdle

Even the most embarrassing step forward is still a step forward
