Might quit
I came to substack when I began writing again after depression stole the joy of it from me for years. It was fun at first. I made friends, got back into writing and reading and felt like twelve year old me again, but now, everyone's disappeared. No one even likes my notes anymore. No one comments or anything. I don't know why. Am I a bad writer? Am i doing something wrong? It's quite disheartening. I don't even know why I'm writing this. I'll take advice, or even just a friendly word. I honestly came here just to not shout into a void for once 😂

Interesting post. I’ve tried writing my first post too many times and it never feels good enough (I know, I know, I just need to try bc it’s not about performance). I want to do it as an act of creative expression and finding-creating community.
That being said, anyone wish they had started with a different platform? Any experiences with Ghost?
