Have you ever been discouraged about something that you love doing? Have you ever gotten a comment that makes you feel ashamed for the way you to the thing you always loved?
One time I became confident enough to start writing stories that I enjoy writing. I felt so free when I discovered I could put my stories on here and It was one of the most happiest times of my life. My stories are short but that's my style and I love that I can express myself through the wacky stories that I write. Oneday I got some backlash and it was extremely negative, I kept posting stories and talking about my ideas but the commentor kept criticizing me in a mean spirited way. I started feeling awful about myself and believed that my work was crap, no one likes it, everyone hates me because I'm dumb, and everything I say is mediocre garbage. I was so upset and angry that I became depressed, I stopped taking my medication because I thought "what's the point?" That's when I deleted all of my stories and I withdrew myself from the world for a while. After a while I began to draw pictures of the characters who were in my stories. That changed something in me, from that day on I started to feel happy again and before I knew it I started becoming inspired again! And I promised myself if people try to bring me down and tell me that I can't do what I love that I would show them that I can strive achieve something better.
