"cringe is dead, be free" is about cutting off the part of you that is inhibiting you from expressing yourself artistically or emotionally. however it also comes along with the implication "don't make your second-hand embarrassment everyone else's problem". it does not mean "find another means to othering someone". this applies to adults who watch cartoons for toddlers or write fanfiction about south park characters or share sexual thoughts that don't personally comfort you.
If you are weirded out by someone's interests. look inward to find out why you feel that way, or just avoid that person, but stop begging and pleading for external validation for your disgust and roping me into your insecurity

Why You Need To Start Small And Slow With New Habits
Why You Need To Start Small And Slow With New Habits
Today, I thought, today I will get my routine back into shape!
Yesterday, I drew up a daily schedule of all of the tasks that I would like to get done; practice a good morning routine, write and plan content for my blog, go for a walk (that, according to this new schedule that I have, I need to start doing in the next 7 minutes), read, meditate, etc. etc. I had planned out my day from the moment…

Writer advice #2
I was talking to a friend, who enjoys drawing, and I asked if they have drawn anything, they answered that they haven't because they believe the drawing won't look good, and it stops them. To which I asked them: why does it have to look good? Art, specially art regarding drawing and painting, have the advantage of being as abstract as one's wishes. Sure, maybe people won't get it, but do you want to? Especially since they aren't drawing for anyone.
They answered me that is because they want it to be perfect, since the people surrounding them pressure for perfection.
I think this is an experience that most people have gone through regarding something in their life, I will do it until I know for sure I will succeed first try.
I had gone through it, and I am tired that this has stopped me from writing. Regarding talents that you were born with or not, those can disappear since we don't practice. You can't expect to achieve this idealistic perfection if you don't allow yourselves to make the mistakes to achieve it. To find your strengths, idols, weaknesses, inspirations, mistakes, what you love and what to stay away from, until you find yourself.
But I want to be the next Shakespeare, and that guy was a master at his craft. Probably because he was a man with literally nothing better to do than to write. Consistency and discipline are the keys to those talents.
Furthermore, I want this to be very clear as you are writing, or creating any art form like my friend, nobody has to see your craft if you don't want to. It doesn't have to satisfied nobody else but you, who says that for you to master writing, cooking, or programming you have to publish or sell your talents? You are allowed to have hobbies.
Masters of the arts like Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes, Sor Juana, Margaret Keane, Meryl Streep and other artists love their craft because they found love and passion on their own style. So please, practice not to be the best, but to fall in love with yourself in those words, sketches and "bad" works. That's just your beginning.
