What is writing :,)

 Hi new friends!

How are you all so good at writing?! Every entry I've read so far was really captivating and funny. I'm really jealous since writing is something I struggle with. I've always avoided it and now I have to do it twice a week, or maybe even more. :,) On the other hand, I'm really glad we have this platform to write.  I can finally push away my fixed mindset and learn from you guys!

I did try writing once, a diary to be exact. After reading the diary of Anne Frank I was influenced to write my own. I thought that I, out of all the people in the world could leave history to be found by someone in the future. (This girl really thought the world revolved around her.) The diary project started off really great, I was using new words I learned and wrote at least three pages a day. Unfortunately, as someone who could not (and still to this day) be consistent, stopped writing after 5 months. To be completely honest though I'm glad I stopped writing in my diary. Like I said it started off really good but towards the end, the details and the language started to become a bit...harsh. Reading it back was horrifying. It's something very precious to me but should never ever be published for all the world to see.

Please tell me everyone went through a diary phase as well...

no wait because same??? i thought having a diary to read back to after five or ten years would be so cool. i would end up buying really pretty stationary to hype myself up but i'd always just write like three entries and never open the diary again AKJHSDFG

Your reading is so good.
I dont write in English and I am having a hard time.
I will improve my writing by reading books too.
