Look me straight in the eyes and tell me your current music taste isn’t what your father played in the car when you were a kid.

It breaks my heart seeing someone with so much talent feel so down about their writing. You’re the only reason I'm still on tumbler. I reread your stories all the time. I've been reading fanfics since i was 13 so it's been more than 10 years. But I've never read stories like yours. The first time i read a story of yours, I was so flabbergasted. Because how is that not a real book and how am i reading this for free!!? The world has become a really cruel place if people with your talent feel like they're not good enough, but people with zero talent are thriving. It's really sad. It's your decision, but i hope one day you'll get your spark again. And know that there will be people waiting for you.

Don’t mind me. You are very sweet though. This doesn’t really have anything to do with other people or with the world… although the state of it is quite depressing. It really is me who lost whatever talent I may have had once. I don’t know what happened, but maybe I was just never destined to write in the first place. I’m still mourning…

But I am glad that what I was able to write made you happy and feel so strongly. It’s memories I hope I can cherish too one day, and it’s people like you who make everything feel a little better ^^ thank you for that. For giving a purpose to what I did ☺️

I hope life treats you very kindly~ thank you for being so sweet. Take care ok 🤍

“Most writers spend much of their time in various kinds of torment: wanting to write, being unable to write; wanting to write differently, being unable to write differently. In a whole lifetime, years are spent waiting to be claimed by an idea … It is a life dignified, I think, by yearning, not made serene by sensations of achievement.”
