I know it is my father's first time on this Earth, too. And I know He had it worse when he was little.
But I was little too.
— Franz Kafka, from letters to his father

Alright fellow writers. Confession time.
Rules on "writing" for this poll:
no it doesn't matter what you write or how many words you write.
Worldbuilding, brainstorming, drafting, and editing all count as writing.
yes you're allowed to write something and then come back and vote on this.
yes adding one single word to your wip counts as writing.

I found peace when:
I began to trust myself
I accepted the things that I can't change
I realized that not every relationship had to last
I no longer let people dictate how I felt about myself
I started to appreciate the things I had
I accepted my own imperfections
I began to be honest about how I felt
I learned to set boundaries
I started to show up authenticity
I stopped committing to more than I had time for
I stopped trying to "save" or "fix" people
I stopped trying to prove my worth
I stopped explaining myself to people who didn't want to understand me

You have to stop ruining things for yourself preemptively because you believe they’ll fail anyway. Give yourself a chance to succeed.
