This is my opinion, with the things I noticed living life. Life is in stages and moving from stage to stage old things die n new are born. You are leaving childhood behind n there's grief there. That's alright its normal. Be aware of this be content in the present n work towards the future. I also noticed that wisdom is better. Applying what you know. Smart people can be fools n handicapped people can be wise. All of us have are own lives n whatever we are born with. I also think the comparison game is foolish. That all it does is cause strife. Appreciate what you have been given. You are you, you can only do what you can. I think that you are stressed out with the overwhelming amount of info there is on colleges. I know i got overwhelmed n I went into the trades. I have a job in maintenance, my job is to preventive maintenance n safety. Which is make sure everyone goes home in one piece. Also just be you start friendships. See if it grows into more. Right now just focus on you. That is what you r going to bring to a relationship. It is better to be single than to be in a bad relationship. Enjoy being single. I understand how you feel. I got married in my late 20s. Take your time n find someone who loves you n will grow with you.

I melted down over personal reasons. My hand hurts other than that im fine. Hope things can get better. I believe in love n that loving a person can make them a better person as you walk beside them. It's messy and hard at times though

Trigger warning for heavy subjects n I talk about Jesus which is my faith n worldview. I wrote a letter to a lady at church recently, and I don't know if anyone on this platform has been through sexual abuse before. I personally haven't myself, but my sister has, and all the things I had to go through with her. It's a heartbreaking thing and leaves damage behind. I edited the letter to post it online for safety reasons. It's from a Christian worldview. I just want you to know that you are loved and I stand with you.

There is a story im working on. It's a story I have to write. It's cyperpunk (I read Neromancer a while back. My cyperpunk pales in comparison.) It's topics are heavy. I lived a heavy life n this is a personal story. It's made up why I choose cyperpunk as a genre. If I could pm scenes to you to get feedback. That would be wonderful.

This short story I wrote for a writing contest. I won a ten-dollar gift card to Walmart and an award that hangs on the wall in my house. Put a couple of pics of my dog. Though I don't like to, since people can imagine what type of dog it is. .

I have a job, its nice talking to creative people. Living in a rural area can be hard. Sometimes its lonely. I have my wife who is musical. I have a mental health writing group. It's not quite what I want. I would like feedback, to better my writing. To get to the level of the authors I love.

My wife has autism, too, and I married her. In fact, during high school, I took her to her senior prom. When other boys were afraid to take her because of her mental illness. I say this, coming from being left behind by my biological father. Be there for your children. Think of that all the time now since both my dads are gone (i was adopted.) I have finished a short story about my rescue dog that is told through her eyes. That was a lot of fun to write. Its just dealing with the sins of my forefathers, and the ruin they left behind. Picking up the pieces and trying to make some sort of life out of what I have been given. Which i know is a lot, my worldview is christian and God has guided me through so much mess. Lifted me to be a different person, to seek new paths that will lead to building something that will last. As for my writing, I know I am good, at least people around me say that it is. I know I need to be better to get it to stand out and have a breakthrough. Yet right now writing is a rebellion and I'm just looking for encouragement to get over this brick wall that makes writing hard because of the past.

I am new to this online forum stuff. Having autism and depression just impacted my writing again. It's been a rough couple of weeks; I had to do some hard things. I know I should sit down at my desk and write every day, but sometimes it's hard to do. Even though I know it makes me happy.

Hi this is Tam Tucker. i got into writing as an escape when i was 12 years old. Also noticed through reading that I could explore ideals and motivations. So that just translated in my writing, to explore an ideal and see a character's why. Started as a coping mechanism, hoping that it grows into something more as a way to explore and discover truths that may help someone in this life. some of my favorite books are House of the Scorpions by Nancy Farmer, and Dune by Frank Herbert all of them. I just love how these books explore human nature and the characters feel real. The book that inspires me that most and I have been reading it my whole life is the KJV Bible. As a writer and seeing different really old writing styles and since I am from the states. Learning how different languages form writing differently due to what they were writing on or just part of their culture just fascinates me to no end. I take inspiration from the Bible because God used writers and He didn't take away their voice. Every writer is very different and its shows that a writer can be a county boy like Amos or a highly educated man like Isaiah. Thank you for allowing me to share, God bless
