"when you're lonely, feeling small..."
this is for you, at the wrong time but someday when I'm not with you it will apply...
"There is nothing to fear except fear itself." I don't know where I heard it but it means to me that your life is constant turmoil and the only way to live is to take chances, win and fail, find new hopes and mourn broken dreams, it's all part of the process and the whole point is just to keep going because in the times it's not worth living, and sometimes it feels that way, the future will be brighter and there will be times ahead when you feel everything was worthwhile if only to bring you to that moment. Fear is natural, nothing to ever be ashamed of, but it is caution and planning and preparation that help you, not fear. A leap of faith may let you fall sometimes but the times you reach the other side, you know it was worth it to fall sometimes.
Approaching will come with time, practice, and simply being comfortable with people. As for the intrepid sailor ideal, by continuing to try and never giving up on your ideals, even when the world does seem to work against you and everything you believe in, you are intrepid. You never give in to what tries to hurt you, you always keep trying to become a better person and applying what you do have, because everyone has a dire lack of almost everything-- the trick is keeping trying and using what you've got in a good way. You do that, and while everything you do may sometimes seem like it isn't making a difference, it does. Above all, the people that get to know you, we become better people having seen how wonderful you are. You have to have faith that there is always more and more good in the world, and you're helping that happen. Witty is never something I have been, or will ever be, I'm afraid, so I can't tell you anything about that, except you are already a joyous person to be around, when you are feeling joyous yourself.
Find something that makes you feel good-- in my case it has always been music but I think with you it is writing-- and continue with that, even more when it's harder and keep pouring all your emotion into it-- and it will grow in spirit as you do. You should be proud of it just as you should be proud of yourself, even though sometimes you don't quite feel it, you deserve it. Just always make sure there is some way to make the emotion inside you into something you can touch or see or hear or read. You don't have to hold everything inside until the only way to let it out is through tears. If nothing else, tears can help heal you, but you don't have to become that sad or depressed before you do something about it, you just have to know what that something is, and not be afraid to let your emotions out that way.
Probably this is the completely wrong time to say any of this. So, another time maybe, when you're depressed, try and remember. This happens to be the time I could think of what to say. Words don't always come easy. I just hope they're not completely wasted. If nothing else matters, remember one thing: you are loved.
