Why Riley Will Always Be Insane


As a child, growing up in Ohio, I thought a potato chip was a potato chip. When you only ever eat one brand, you have no reason to think any differently. Then, I grew up, went out into the world and ate potato chips of all makes and models. One day, I came to the…
Visibility does give rise to change. The more people who live open lives, the more people are forced to accept the fact that differences won’t go away just because they believe that everyone should be uniform, and, by uniform, of course, I mean exactly like them. Not only is Zachary Quinto coming out important as…
And it was simply too damn cold to go out and play. Which is unfortunate. The Super Bowl is always good for creating empty movie theaters and grocery stores. But, alas, we chose not to freeze our asses off to take advantage of it. We did, however, stumble across this —> Puppy Bowl VI Puppies…

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.

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.
