That one person

[korra]

Okay so I was looking through goodreads because I was bored like that and I didn't want to write anything when I come across the profile of a friend of mine god i sound like such a creeper that I had back in elementary school. Okay, well, not friend because we didn't get along after first grade because she was a controlling and manipulative piece of cow manure and I was like, let's see what books she likes.

So I'm looking through her books and I see her reviews and I'm like, okay I'll read like one or two AND OH MY GOD SHE HAS SUCH ELOQUENT WRITING AND HER SENTENCE STRUCTURE IS LIKE WOAH AND I'M JUST LIKE WTF WHERE DID THIS ALL OF A SUDDEN COME FROM LIKE MY GOD.

And I realised that we all have that one friend who's writing is like something blessed by God (even if you don't want to admit it) and you're just sitting there like, "heh, and then she ate the potato."

And now I feel bad about myself.

I had a bunch of friends like that in middle school. I was friends with all the really smart kids, and ever since 1st grade I was always the least intellegent one. Not to say im not smart, but like, if you put walter white next to bill gates, bill gates would outshine walter obvs (thats a rlly bad analogy wow sorry)

But we'd always share our writing since most of us were in the same english class, and id always be insanely jealous that they could come up with this shit. I really hated that I was always step steps behind them, ir really pushed me to get better (I probably still suck compared to them, though.)

The worst part? None of them were passionate about writing like I was. Like--- no! Just no!

I am that weird person, that would write and then nearly everyone in class would love it. I always got praise, whether it was a short story, a poem or a proper novella.
Now let me tell ya, I burned myself when I started publishing online. No praise at all and barely any feedback - something that's normal for most beginners nearly broke my neck.
Online I am not the special one, I am barely above average and learning that took time. It hurt too.
To learn and accept that you aren't that one person after everyone always said you are sucks. But I got over it.

I used to be friends with this girl in middle school and I found a story that she was writing so I read it.
It was weird because it was like a fan fiction of her and her boyfriend but with twists. But it was still very good and I was jealous.

my best friend is that person tbh he doesn't write fic or anything but everything he writes is so eloquent and well-stated, and he's so precise and neat with everything that he writes i just ;;;;;

the only downside to that is that it takes him a while to write anything but still

I wish I could do that it would be so helpful in essay writing.

I need to stop reading badly written books is what the problem is turning out to be I think.

My teachers and my friends used to comment on how gifted I was at writing and that I was an excellent writer. The only thing that made my writing suck was that I over emphasized everything. Then again my friends who were writers hated writing in English especially writing research papers. I might be talking about myself but most of my friends were jealous that I loved writing and actually could write almost anything.
I still continue to write- poetry, song lyrics, articles, speeches, short stories, and novels. The only other person I know who loves writing as much as I do was my best friend in high school. Everything she wrote was beautiful.

That's how I feel about everyone who isn't myself.

So jealous of how some of you guys write. Give me your powers.

I'm not popular when it comes to fanfiction even though I've been writing it before the boy bands, one direction and 5sos came a long. I used to write Star Wars and Twilight fan fiction.
I was eleven when I did Star Wars. Twilight when I was 14.

My jaw drops every time I read some of y'all's stories and I give up on wiring for a couple of days, haha.
