Hey fellow writers, you all are doing great.

I just had to say a word. I'm not even sure who this is for, but I want to say it. I've decided to stop writing (for a while at least). In my most recent attempt, I realized that I don't enjoy writing. I enjoy being a writer. I want to be a writer because other writers are. I don't like writing. When I write, I feel like I'm not doing it right, because my experience is different than the writers I admire. Am I the only person that feels this way?<br><br>I just started to hate the idea of writing, and I started to hate myself for abandoning something I thought I would love forever. I want to be a writer because the title of "writer" has value. I want to be a writer because the act of being a writer is revered. I want to be a writer because I enjoy a certain idea about what it means to be a writer. <br><br>I don't know why I keep making myself suffer. I know I'm not the only one. I'm still curious, but I'm gonna stop trying to do something that doesn't make me happy. I think I will be a writer, but not now. Maybe not for a long time. <br><br>I guess what I wanted to say is that if you want to keep writing, keep writing. If one day you decide to stop, that's okay. If you want to stop, but you feel like you could never abandon it, you can.
