Happier

Every so often between looping Rollin With The Flow, I'll toss in a listen to Happier - Bastille & Mashello. I like it a lot, but maaaan I can't listen to it too much because every time I do, it makes me think about the people I care about in my life and it's like.... I do want them to happier. I start thinking about whether or not I'm doing what I should to make them happier even if it might be hard for me, and I often feel like I'm not. *sighs*

Lately I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier. I want you to be happier.
Even though I might not like this.
I think that you'll be happier. I want you to be happier.

Do you think your style has changed over time? How so?

Mmm... I think it's matured? Like, my old fic sounds like a 15 y/o wrote it... because a 15 did write it. I can write teenage/young adult characters more believably than I could when I was fresh out of middle school and still considered high school to be some kind of grand, mythical place (dfghjkl... no tho when ur in middle school for some reason high school seems so cool... then you hit senior year and it's like wow this is hell and everyone's fuckin dumb, including me).

Being older has also given me more experience to translate into my writing? I moved around a lot as a kid, so I didn't really have any long term friendships until I hit high school. It's hard to really know how to write a close relationship between two people when you haven't experienced it yourself, ya know? The biggest downside tho is that the older I've gotten, the more difficult it's been for me to write. I used to write all the time in notebooks and journals and the like, but nowadays it's such a struggle. A lot of what I wrote was trash, but at least I wrote something ya know? Oh well... hopefully I can get back to that place again.
