you're quitting writing??

pls... i was making a joke but idk maybe going to pause it? bcs im planning on going back to college so ive been busy w apps and stuff plus ive been stressing over my writing way too much. constantly comparing it to other ppl, it's just a weird place to be in bcs ik my style is different but im still like v affected in a negative way. it's made engaging w other ppl's amazing mind blowing works hell for me bcs i start tweaking out 2 days after im done reading a fic 😭 sorry for the tmi but ive been trying to improve my writing bcs i started this as sth fun and unsrs but now i actively want to do good so everything has started feeling very humiliating to put out 😭 like basic compliments feel like sarcastic jabs bcs i can see the inconsistencies but have no way to fix them bcs i still have a long way to go? so im thinking of taking a short break to learn and not care about external validation 🤔 plus also yk... college and my stupid jobs 😭
