I feel awful for not posting. I am writing, but I can never finish a story. It feels like losing a part of me and with my depression and other various mental health disorders, that really isn't an option right now. The worlds that I create are my escape from this currently stressful, scary reality. I've been pulled and pushed in directions both physically and mentally that I never thought I would reach. I work in a grocery store during a global pandemic, I'm a first-year college student stuck at home, and I'm just surviving at this point. I come home from work exhausted to the point where I can't stand and overwhelmed to tears and scared for my health or the health of my family. If creating world after world after world is what saves me, then that's what I'm going to do. It sucks because I want to share the love I write, but you'll never see an ending and I think that's cruel. Working on poetry though. Writing will always be my passion and I will always write. On another note, I've discovered my love of LGBT+ novels and so that could also be where my time goes (could read a book and lose time).
Question: Would y'all be interested in just my writing or can I share myself (not in fictional characters) too? This platform has been an escape and I've loved being here, but my poetry has become my story and I want to tell it if it'll be heard (or read I suppose).
Thank you for still being here,
Alexander :)
