I... · 11:16am Nov 11th, 2012
I don't even have words.
All my life, I've been so wonderfully mediocre at everything I've pursued. Sports, school, relationships.
Art.
Writing.
It's all been so... bland. Uninteresting. It's been enough to capture the fleeting interests of people as they peruse a wealth of information, but very little beyond that.
It hasn't been enough to make someone stop and think.
My creations aren't inspired or inspiring. They merely exist, taking up space.
Including everything here.
I will never write a heart-tearing novel.
I will never compose an awe-inspiring symphony.
I will always be one to the world, but I will never be the world to one.
Even now, over a year after I've contributed here, to one of the best fandoms I've ever had the grace of experiencing, my pseudonym has faded to a bleak nothing.
I still love you glorious bastards.
I only wish I could love myself with such ardent fervor.
Sometimes the biggest critic of them all is yourself, so take it easy bro. Feel better soon
Do i need to steal your username again...
Listen to this as you read what I've written to you, because it brings a true understanding of my words, or so I believe...
You believe this, but this isn't true. When I started writing, it came as a "punishment", mixing and mashing different artist's and writer's styles together to make a cacophony of my own. It didn't feel right, and I was crushed. My teachers, they knew nothing about it. They said it was perfect, beautiful, even awe-inspiring. But to me, it was terrible, until I ffoud that groove in which I could stay and mature as an author. By no means am I ever going to be a great author like Rust or some of the other, better ones. No way am I ever going to write a novel, or spin a fantastic tale of adventure across magical landscapes. but I do what I can, and I make do by doing the best I can. Just like you. You and me, we aren't perfect, even if some people like to think we are. We do what we can to write our best, and we believe it is nothing but a pile of garbage, but what's one man's garbage is another man's treasure, and those who follow you and join in on your laughter, your writing, and your fun, believe so. They believe that you are their treasure, and not only that, but they believe that everything you do is great. Never forget that. You've contributed so much to this glorious fandom, more than I wish I could ever. You've wrote the best writing's, and done so much for each and everyone of us, dragging us out a boring day, or just giving us something to cope with. You, you are you, and noone can change you, except for you. Do what feels best, even though you think its mediocre at best, try and mature as an author by writing. The more you write, the more you'll understand english, and how you can better yourself, and create an even more unique writing style!
I... I guess what I'm trying to say here, is... Believe in yourself. For me, for you, and most of all... For us as a whole. Thank you for reading this, and I hope you the best of luck on your journey to becoming a better writer.
Onward and Upwards, my Friend!

you remind me of me. existential crisis's are a bitch
My friend, your works are infinitely more valuable than you think they are. Sure they aren't as well known as My Little Dashie or the like, but they are magical in their own right. They span such a broad range of themes and alternate universes, its mind-boggling. Hell, Patient Zero is what got me to start writing my own story. It may seem like a bit of a futile gesture, but I have saved a copy of every one of your stories on an old hard drive I have, so even if you decide to delete all of them off of the internet forever, I'll still have a copy of them. That's how valuable I think your stories are, how eloquent you are in your writing. What I'm saying is, however valuable you think you are, you're worth twice as much.
May your life take you wherever you fit in best.
Best regards,
Mental_Zero
That was quite possibly the most poetic blog post I've ever read. *slow claps*
The truth is. Maybe you won't ever be "famous" or "popular"
But it's the journey, not the destination.
And only you can decide when the journey ends....
