"There’s point where you stop telling it what it wants to be. And it starts telling you what it wants to be."
At a certain point, once you pushed the story enough, it writes itself.

"There’s point where you stop telling it what it wants to be. And it starts telling you what it wants to be."
At a certain point, once you pushed the story enough, it writes itself.
”caring for others is so easy,” Yet not everyone has the strength.
“socializing with people is simple,” yet not everyone has the endurance.
“Living is practically effortless,” yet not everyone has the motivation.
“Your future needs you. Your past does not.”
Be kind to futureself. Forgive pastself. Encourage presentself.
"If you write something and no one likes it, it just sucks. If you write something you love and no one likes it, it’s still something you love. If you write something you are not happy with and everyone loves it, you get imposter syndrome. Love what you write."
Do your best. Or worst. Write that fucked up story.
"Why fall in love when you can fall asleep?"
Quote from a yearbook 🤣
“Complaining about writing being hard is the same as complaining about the weights at the gym being heavy. The reason that the weights make you stronger is because they weigh something. And the reason the writing improves your ideas and the quality of your thoughts is because it requires you to think hard.”
A great counterpoint to only writing when inspiration strikes. And a case for showing up and doing the bare minimum. Just like gym I guess.
The quality of writing will never improve if one only writes when one feels like it.
"To be who you want to be, you must sacrifice who you are."
You literally have to be a different person than who you are now.
This is the issue, the obstacle, the difficulty. I think the subconscious, the ego, the oldself wants to keep the status quo, keep existing, and resist change.
Hence the struggle.
Either we defeat our(old)selves or we stay stuck.
“The past is a place to learn from, not a place to live in.”
Keep moving, keep improving.
