Your style's really unique...everything's so short but it's condensed and flows amazingly

And the people, events, and world around me.

Thanks so much!

Henry David Thoreau.

I think the world can never be seen as a single entity; its constituents are all biased in some form by personal experiences, and it's impossible for anyone to see life without seeing themselves.

One of my favourite quotes is, "We do not see the world how it is; we see the world how we are."

That's beautiful. I agree

I guess I've just been feeling like my writing has been very self-centered, almost a bit "teen-angst" as of late. I read your journal about the ego and creativity (which I've been meaning to comment on), and it's almost like that. I feel like I could be writing about more important things, like my opinion on what's going on in the world, rather than my random emotional outbursts. I've always thought that the Romantics were on to something with writing in reflection. But I also like the rawness of writing in the moment. I'm just really confused, I guess.

I did find a few other quotes, in one of my frequent quote searches haha, that made me feel a bit better.

If writers stopped writing about what happened to them, then there would be a lot of empty pages.

The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and all time.
George Bernard Shaw

Thankyou
