Forcing myself to just type something out and post it doesn't always work, because then I'm like "I hate it" and then I don't want to write anything else for months.

I am KICKING myself for deleting some of my works, because 1) it didn't matter in the end and 2) I managed to lose one of my favorites.
*claws at the databases* WHERE IS MY BEASTLY BEAUTY POEEEEMMMM

Me when I signed up for this website: ripping pieces apart is what reviewing is, right? I should do that. I should let people do that. Rip away!
Me now: so many people rip everything to pieces. It's better to be constructive instead.
IcyFlame Definitely all about the balance! Also, hi! <3

Somoeny just blocked me for not wanting to mock a group that includes my former friends and members of my family and former communities.
At least I wrote again for the first time in at least a year.
fireheartedkaratepup I forgot how to indent so:
I shouldn't be surprised, I saw the signs
Drove by--I just wanted some company for the ride
You slammed the door, I wondered why
I traded a little bit of loneliness for something I knew would make me cry
What now? Am I always gonna drive around
Lonely
Is there anyone who can
Stay with me
Without leaving dents?
I knew how
to keep myself safe, I just didn't know how
to keep myself sane
I keep driving down this road
still don't know where to go
Never been in an accident, but it would sure be nice if at least one of my friends
would stick around for the ride
Two roads diverge, every single time
And I keep driving down this road
Still don't know where to go
I don't know if I want reviews, kind took that first phrase and really leaned into it. Idk.

I've since realized that it's basically socially acceptable bullying from immature jerks who would rather protect their own egos by believing that they're simply elevating their field instead of examining themselves and realizing that it's much more constructive to take a step back and examine what the best way is to help someone build something.
I visited an old piece out of nostalgia, and saw a comment that said you shouldn't like your own work. It's a pretentious and boring take. I'm going to go back through and like everything.
I'm pretty critical. I spot flaws even when I don't want to. I've also noticed, over the years, that people tend to get better if they just keep writing. It doesn't matter if they get the "right" feedback or not, so long as they just keep writing, reading, and internalizing the rules. If you have nothing nice to say, and you just leave them alone, most of the time they will eventually get better.
People are more likely to do this when they're motivated. People are more likely to be motivated when they're encouraged.
Liking your own work is a minor blip that doesn't materially affect anything in any way. Be your own biggest supporter if you want. There's plenty of others who are ready and willing to tear you down.
