The more I continue to live, the more I feel like I'm just an interpreter and can't really achieve a level of originality that is meaningful or worthwhile. I know I'm capable of writing. I've done it. But i also paralyze myself with the fear that what I write won't be world-altering, which of course it won't be - i haven't done a lot of writing so I don't have the practice.
a fun fact about world-altering: it's actually possible to do certain things that seem so NON world altering, that it actually seems world-altering in its level of non-world-altering. Which therefore immediately creates quite an earth-shattering feeling, as it becomes clear that you've just altered the world by seemingly not altering it
