hello! can i ask what you use to write? i’ve been going through a heartbreak and reading your posts comforted me in ways words could never express, and it inspired me to start writing too! (maybe as a way to cope hhehdhdjshdkdhs) do you have any tips? :D

previously i used docs! but now i use pages (ios app.) what truly helps is remembering you're writing for yourself—to express your own emotions; you can try pretending you're writing to that person, because once everything you have wanted to say to them (but couldn't) is penned down, you will feel a lot lighter with the what ifs and unsent words no longer burdening your heart. whatever others may say about it is invalid, because they are not you. i'm glad my words could comfort you, i write for people like you—the ones who can find solace in my words while relating to it. i am very glad you have decided to start writing, it truly helps! you could always send me your stuff if you want i'd love to read them!! hope you heal properly & life wraps you in a warm hug. rooting for you!
