I really hate that stupid feeling I’ve been getting a lot recently. I keep writing and posting and writing and posting and every time, I tell myself, “You had fun writing it and that’s all that matters!” But then I check back religiously every ten minutes just hoping more than I should that I get notes or kudos or comments or whatever, and it’s like I can never just be proud of myself. I can’t even read other people’s work without checking their feedbacks and comparing mine and feeling super low in general about everything. I hate it. I’ve started putting off watching things like [one of my favorite shows] becuase I pressure myself so much to make content based off of it. I do it at school too, but I hate that I do it with things I generally love doing. I just feel sick.

Liking things shouldn’t be stressful. Write because YOU want to do it, not because you want the approval of others. I know it’s 100x easier said than done, but I’ve been through that before. You can do this, dude.
