Sorry if this is weird. I'm a little buzzed.

But this it what I think. It'll only ruin you if you let it, OP. But I suspect that this is the type of thing where no amount of advice is going to help. I hope you'll come to realize it yourself, because every creative, including you, deserves to express themselves, and the hell with being haunted by the past. It's called the past for a reason. If it's not useful to you, if all it does is hurt and not help, then it's irrelevant. No matter what you wrote. No matter how problematic, or whatever, that it might have been, you deserve to be able to move past it. You got this. Please shine for us, if that is what you want. You're worth it 100%.

I'm tired of people poopoo-ing fandom. It's dumb. All "original" works are derivative of older works, or events, or feelings inspired by works, events, or feelings. Nothing is truly original, and nothing is truly free of "problematic" content. I used to be sickly anxious over this, so scared to hurt other people, so scared other people would go out of their way to hurt me. That something I wrote would fuck my whole life and career. I wish I knew how I kicked this line of thinking, but it was this, as far as I know: There really came a point where I just didn't/couldn't give a fuck anymore. It wasn't worth it. Let people find whatever they find about my decades of fandom activity (which started at age 13.) I won't bat an eyelash now. Come at me, assholes.
