I’ve been having a similar internal struggle, for different reasons but I really resonated with what you wrote here. If you enjoy it, I do always love reading your pieces and hope you keep it up! I want another one in fact next week! Haha jk, if you need a break, that’s ok too. I’m glad you’re filling your time with things you enjoy + focusing on important things like exams even though it’s stressful.
Fwiw, I like your non-perfectionist writing.
I've gotten in the habit of journaling a ton in a Google Doc, to practice writing /well enough/.
Very rarely, my friends give feedback -- so maybe I'm just especially proud /that I've written/ vs focusing on the unknowable thing called quality.

This is a potent seed for sure :)
