Perhaps lost in translation?
(There was an error with the previous challenge, many apologies) As writers, it is inevitable that someone would misinterpret or even disregard something based on what you write. Perhaps they'll even think you're someone completely different. In any form, write about something your worried people will misunderstand, have already misunderstood, or misinterpret about your writings. Perhaps even write about something people assume about you based on your writings

Concerns

CW: mentions of the topic of death

Writing about certain topics, especially when written at certain ages, can be easily misunderstood and turned into concern for one’s safety. In way it’s a good thing, I’m glad that there were people around me who read what I wrote and checked in on me. One the other had I always found it difficult to share or even write pieces that covered these topics because I was worried that I would make someone concerned. The ‘certain topics’ I’m referring to is anything todo with death. A characters death or even injury would have my freinds and family asking me if I was ok, if there was anything wrong. Bones, plague doctors, skeletons, death, all of that stuff. I enjoy writing and drawing it, not in a violent way. More of a ‘adorable skeleton puppy who lives with the grim reaper uwu’ way. (I cringed so hard writing that last thing). I liked to draw cute plague doctors in fancy hats, write about deities of death or grim reapers. The topic just fascinated me, plague doctors and grim reapers looked so cool! But when one writes about those kind of things, especially during their teenage years, it gets misinterpreted and causes concern. In a way, it’s a good thing. But it also caused me to be scared about what I was writing, that what I was interested in or enjoyed writing about was wrong.
