Creative Outlet and Nostalgia

I used to be an avid fan of fanfiction in the years 2011-2013. I even wrote some stories with the groups I was most familiar with (mostly SM groups). I'm twenty years old now, almost turning 21, and want to continue writing creatively as my desk job drains me and I feel that I need to have a creative outlet in order for me to 1) practice my writing, 2) keep me creative, and 3) satisfy my storytelling urges. 

I was the typical Kpop fan years ago: obsessed with everything my favorite groups released, eager to meet new fans through stan accounts (although back then "stan" wasn't even a word), always searching for new content, subscribing to every fanfic. I lost touch with Kpop for a while because f(x) became inactive, Exo was no longer 12, and sooooo much more. Just last year, however, a friend of mine recommended that I watch some videos of Blackpink and so... I was pulled back once again to the echo chamber called Kpop. I updated myself with Exo and even started stanning Mamamoo (as of writing, I've only been a fan for about a month or so but I. AM. OBSESSED). 

I guess I made an AFF account just for nostalgia. I missed my good old days (no matter how cliche it is to say that) of coming up with so many ideas and putting them into words for all to see. I rarely do so now, because I have become conscious of so many rules of writing and storytelling. I want to be free and childish again by exploring worlds, universes, and stories. I'm excited to start writing—not just for people who might want to read but also for me.

I hope I don't get too caught up in technicalities though.
