A story of my brain trying to get things done. Writing something crazy impressive or catchy. Is it even possible at first shot?

<p>I really don’t know what I should be starting, but, as we say, the hardest thing while writing is to get started.</p>
<h3>The fear of the white pages</h3>
<p>Not sure what I am doing now, but I am just doing it. I have strange things coming up in my head. Common words like: lol, wtf, etc. Not sure why it is coming but, it’s coming. Anyway. I am just literally writing what is coming to my mind as it is coming. It’s pretty weird. Should I even be writing at this right moment? Probably? Probably not? Damned, what the fuck am I doing?</p>
<h3>I started writing, obviously</h3>
<p>But will it continue? Is it just a temporary thing? I have so many things to do. Do I? I mean, I have a lot of things that I want to do. I am not sure I will ever be able to do everything, and it scares me. I want to do great things, but is writing something I want to do? Yes! Absolutely, I do want to write, but what else should I do?</p>
<h3>Telling a story</h3>
<p>Storytelling, am I even able to do that, what the heck am I doing at the moment? Is it a practice? Is it something that is even worth reading by myself? I have no idea what I am doing. Maybe I should be getting my ideas straight before even continuing writing…</p>
<h3>Time passes</h3>
<p>What should I do…</p>
<h3>Finishing up this</h3>
<p>So.. I just gave that text to my grammar checker. Looks like, except 2 typos, I am not that bad at writing random stuff grammatically correct. Yeay to me.</p>
<h3>Signing off</h3>
<p>Bye</p>
