if you always let yourself think that things are doomed to constantly change and change and you can't do anything to stop it, you'll never be satisfied with life, because you know you won't have the time to taste how good a situation is that it has already changed; I'm not saying you're not right, I actually think you're right: things change and it sucks, badly, but there is no harm in trying to think that things will stay that way, let yourself dream for a little while from time to time, or you will pile up so much frustration in you that will be difficult to let it all out

a friend of mine who writes as a way to stop thinking for a while and feeling better sometimes struggles with writing and she lets me read what she wrote before the little blocks she has, so that I can comment and we talk about the story and the plot and what's going to happen next, and she says it helps her a lot, talking about it, letting someone else read and comment; maybe you should do that too, let someone read what you write and comment on it, making you questions about what you wrote, what you think is going to happen next, it will show you how your writing is to other people and push you to writing more, maybe convincing you that it's good and make your good words come back :) I start comparing myself to everyone else around me and I just don't measure up.you mean that you're comparing your writing to other people's wrtiting style? don't do that. not just because your mind will make you think they're better than you and make you give up on writing, but also because everyone has their own style and believe it or not, people

but when I read the part where you don't write because of what other people might think, my reaction was that you shouldn't... and then I realised how hypocritcal it is lol. and I am an hypocrite myself for telling you not to be affected by other people's works and not think they're better than you, because I do that, exactly that, lol XD it's just that I'm a pessimist person who never quite sees something I do as a good thing, but I try to give optimism to other people because I know how shitty it is to feel pessimist about something I do; so believe in what you write, believe it's good, because me and a lot of other people wouldn't read and comment on your stories if we didn't think it was good! :)
weee, you took some notes!!! that's good, that's a start, I'm happy to hear that!!!
