how do you manage school with writing dude I'm struggling 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
(also expect a msg abt part 3 soon 👀👀👀)
i think you’re in high school so it’s a little different since im in college but
tbh i’m a workaholic, im always doing something, i find it really hard just to rest which i know is bad but i unfortunately have no plans of changing
please do not be like me though, i burn out constantly, i just have enough willpower to drag myself through everything, but please please please take care of yourself
i’ve normalized my brain to accept burnout, because to me it means i’m working hard, doesn’t mean that it’s okay, it’s just how i am
but, writing and painting are my two hobbies that i’ve had for years, painting is just harder because it strains my back, writing doesn’t
if i’m not studying, i’m writing, if i’m not writing, i’m studying, or sleeping tbh
obv theres extra time where i just do whatever tf i want but my life revolves around those things
i NEED to write, it’s my life, i love writing so much, it not just only became a want, it became a need
also i’d like to clarify that i’ve been writing on tumblr since 2021 and have taken several long breaks because i couldn’t balance anything
balance is hard and for most it takes a while to actually find something good that works
take fics bit by bit, don’t force yourself to write in one sitting, worst thing you can do, and try to space out your writing if you have time
just remember, school ALWAYS comes first
and don’t stress too much, you’re too young to be overworking yourself :3
i feel like i yapped about everything EXCEPT the question im so sorry
