Writing?... personal thoughts

Writing seems useless, personally. Don't get me wrong, I do respect that people write and I do think it's great and all but it somehow feels useless which is absurd because I write. I don't write much but everytime I do I can't help but feel like this all is a waste; that all this won't ever amount to anything. It's probably because I don't think I'm much of a good writer or don't think I have it in me to make it big. It genuinely feels like I'm just passing time. 

I admire writing as an art, a skill, a talent and everything but I do simultaneously feel this way too which is annoying because lately I've writing a little too much which obviously causes my brain to stop functioning because I can't sort out my emotions. 

I probably don't make sense at all lol.

Everything seems useless, personally.

Why does air exist anyway?

The thing that doesn't make sense to me is that you say writing seems useless ... in a blog post that you've ... you know, written. And, as Camille said, if the end goal in writing is "making it big" then you're not going to find it fulfilling. But you wrote this blog post for a goal that /wasn't/ to make it big. It was as a form of expression, to communicate something. Which kind of makes writing far from useless. So, maybe the take-home lesson from this is that writing to "make it big" is not a good outcome, but writing for something else is perfect. Me? I write because I love it. I write for passion. I write for expression. I write because it gives me the chance to create a world that I think is great. A world where I would love to live. It keeps that world alive in my mind and stops me from killing myself. As far as I'm concerned, writing for something so personal is so much better than making a name for myself. Write for love, not money.

Maybe it's because you think it needs to have an end-goal. If "making it big" is the only thing that doesn't make it seem like a waste, then yeah, I suppose it is a waste. However, if it makes you feel better, if it makes you feel anything honestly, if it contributes to how you work in your daily life, then maybe it isn't all that much of a waste of time.
What makes it worth it is, I suppose, the end goal - and what you decide that end goal to be.
