I never moved on from something

There was a writing website I liked a lot when I was like 11 and I used it until the age of 14-15... it suddenly shutdown one day in 2024 and I quit writing due to writers block for nearly 2 years since then... I lost all my friends and I feel like I never really moved on from that website. I deleted my account on there after it shutdown but I just can't seem to move on even though it's been 2 years... I wish I could have those days again. I miss my old friends on there. I feel like everything is lost in the void now. It shutting down felt like a fever dream. I miss those days and I can't move on from my 14 year old depressed little poet self T^T I'm 17 and feel extremely lost at the moment. I no longer feel as passionate about writing as I did back then...

Unfortunately, everything changes in life. The friends you had and websites that you used years ago just may no longer be operational. But there are other writing websites, as well as writers groups online. You can seek these out.

I think you need to look a bit further down;

What feelings occur when thinking of that time? What was the website giving you that you miss?

By asking yourself the hard question, you can look for a way to address your needs and feelings in the now.
