It’s a funny feeling, isn’t it? I haven’t reread my old stuff recently, but I did take a peak at some stuff I wrote in HS a few years ago and I was surprised by my word choice and how nice some of it sounded. Good job me! Too bad a lot of the plot was cringy or just unfinished. I had tons of ideas but never actually put them all together.

I feel like I’ve lost a lot of my creativity too. I haven’t had a creative outlet in a while. About two years ago I was involved in an RPG game with some folks online and our GM was developing his own game system. It was really fun and I hadn’t felt so inspired in a long time! But sadly IRL caused people too drift apart and we stopped playing together. I miss that but it was nice while it lasted.
