    I actually wrote a paper on As I Lay Dying and it's relation to The Hero's Journey and Greek Mythology.

    The way that (almost) every story can be broken down to the same base principles is one of the most interesting things to me but I never really considered actually using it for my own writing since it felt so foreign, and I guess I don't have that good of a mindset about being/getting better which is something I also need to shed and change for (hopefully) the better.

    I’ve tried creative writing and in my original draft of this post I actually included it in it. But whenever I sit down to start to try and write anything I’m always presented with zero ideas for how to start, and when I use some sort of prompt or anything to help me come up with ideas I end up feeling like I’m “cheating” somehow and that it’s not true creativity.

    Do you have any recommendations for how to get better at the ideation process itself?

    I'm starting a new phase in my life and with that, quite a few shifts in personality/hobbies. The big hobby that I've started to get into is filmmaking. I feel really comfortable and confident in the technical aspect, such as cameras and all the equipment used to make good films.

    The huge part that I've struggled with and continue to struggle with though is writing and creativity in general. I feel like I'm in some sort of restraint when it comes to my personal creativity since I suppressed a lot of my emotions when I was younger and now that's coming back to haunt me. I don't know how to "break free" from said restraints to become more creative again. Sometimes there have been little bursts of creativity that I've had sometimes after waking up as a remnant from dreams or potentially just the recovery of sleep but I don't know how to capitalize on it.

    Do y'all have any recommendations on how to become more creative or just to be able to come up with ideas more easily?

    I wonder if type 1 diabetes counts as a disability? Anyways, I got diagnosed with it last year at 17 y/o and it's been really hard trying to figure everything out and sort of change my whole life...

    I wonder if type 1 diabetes counts as a disability? Anyways, I got diagnosed with it last year at 17 y/o and it's been really hard trying to figure everything out and sort of change my whole life to cater towards this illness. Interestingly enough, the most surprising thing about this has been that I've eaten worse than pre-diabetes because all the unhealthy stuff has accurate carbohydrate counts as compared to healthy food which is often lacking any accurate nutritional information.
