writing!
I do collaborative writing with my partner (who has been the light in a lot of darkness for me) but also just…working on characters, developing new worlds, putting together music playlists for them and pinterest boards. It’s escapism at it’s finest but I’ve been told I’m good at it when I share my writing, it’s been my source of pride since I was a kid. when the words are flowing, I can easily get lost in them, like everything bad is gone for a while.
I’m glad you can still find peace in things, and I hope you can find more ways for that feeling to be enjoyed.
the lovely thing about writing is “good” is extremely subjective, and only matters to the reader. if you’re only writing for yourself, you’re not there to people please, you’re just there for you. I don’t share my writing much anymore, aside from writing with my partner, or in some cases, for them.
I threw out some of my old writing too, and desperately wish I could have it back. but, there’s never a bad time to start up again and create something new, even if it’s just to test the waters. just something to think about. I always support people using writing as a coping mechanism.
