Literally so I don't kill myself

The vast majority of what I write is just quotations from other people's work and my response to it (whether I agree or disagree). The rest is really bad poetry. I will never publish any of it but If i didn't write it I would blow my head off because keeping it inside makes me feel insane

My future wife. My only hope of ever finding a faithful woman is to become a niche but respected novelist such that one of my most obsessive readers will eventually track me down to my place of residence and jump my bones.

My descendents, as my ancestors have done for generations. Mostly it is just regular thoughts and lives, though the story of my great... great grandfather who saw the Lincoln assassination was exciting.

Same, but I started a diary for that two years ago (not joking). Contains pieces of short stories, memories, fee fees, poetry, random thoughts and book/movie reviews. Some notes are just a sentence while others could as well be a short story of 5-10 pages.

Im trying to write for various reasons that developed at different stages of my life
The oldest and most common one amongst everyone that has a hobby is that I wanted to create something that I enjoyed consuming, be it books, movies, paintings, etc.
But I didn't have anything worth writing about
Then I started writing stuff just for the fuck of it, not trying to uphold myself to any standard, just grinding out the papers
And then, when I started to see things I really didn't like about the world I set to write stories pointing them out
The problem with the last reason is that I'm too scared to have my opinions out there. I'm scared I'm gonna end up making a fool of myself, that I'm gonna write something to be intellectually discarded as quick as an alrtright youtuber book, something that only magapedes would care to buy, not read, just buy, to virtue signal
At one point I should stop caring about that and get to writing, just so I can know if I'm worth the ink on the paper, but as of now I can't bring myself to it

have to. it’s the most effective, and perhaps only, medium i can take to to sublimate the contradictory anguish of my existence.
