Why Riley Will Always Be Insane

Atheism, Southern Cities, and Why Wealth Sucks
ByRileyAh, the drafts saved in my dashboard right now, waiting to be written. Such a number of things have made me groan of late that I’ve started and stopped mid many a rant. Then, they pile up and I get stressed out by my own procrastination, and I want to delete my page and go…
Allegory of a Texas Man
ByRileyThere was a man who worked at Central Market in South Lake, Texas. His job was a little awkward. He wasn’t a cashier or a bagger or a stocker. He was an attendant. Every time I saw him, he was positioned where the shelves of chips met the end of the chocolate aisle, midway between…
Following the Rainbow
ByRileyEvery rainbow has its pot of gold. It lies at rainbow’s end, that mystical place to which science tells us it is impossible to actually get. Metaphorically, this may be true as well, but we’ll get to that. Unless our early lives have been so tragic that we lose the ability, we all start out…

I think you have a choice Riley, but choosing not to write may be more destructive than choosing to write… If writing can make you frustrated and feeling like a failure sometimes then just imagine what it will feel like(not always, but sometimes) when/if you do not engage in writing at all, cause i think the frustration and feeling like a failure will still be there sometimes, it just won’t be expressed, now that seems like a horrible situation…
That being said, there is nothing wrong with a break and exploring other ways to express yourself could be fun?
Lots of love and support from everyone here either way.
While I certainly don’t want you sad and frustrated, I have to say the selfish lizard part of my brain went into panicky denial at the thought of not reading your writings in the future.
Whichever way you decide, I hope it works out well for you.
(((((hug)))))
I wish I had the perfect words to help you out of your mopey-red-stick-figure-self-doubting slump.
I can offer you more hugs via my super-high-speed internet, though. (I upgraded recently so you could get them before I click Submit Comment)
May is right, you got lots of love and support. 🙂
*hugs* aaaaand click
Hoping that you won’t decide to give up entirely, but luck in whatever you decide.

Thanks peeps 🙂
I kept meaning to say something about this. But my gut reaction was always to laugh and think ‘choice? where did she get that idea?’ which I didn’t really think would be helpful at all.
But sometimes a break really does help. I know after I finished my writing course, my brain kind of died, and it took me twelve months to really sit down and write anything afterwards.
I hope you’re feeling better about everythign though, because I have a feeling that twelve months without writing would actually kill you. And none of us want that.
