Ever felt like this?

I understand not writing, but I've been thinking about the why of swearing it off. If it's because most poetry is shit, well that's no reason, the ones that work are wonderful. If it's dissatisfaction with your own writes, that doesn't seem a reason not to write, just keep going until something is satisfying. If it's because you want to throw out the keys that work for you we do have that suicide thread you can write in where as long as all is despair and misery you're in. If it's because you want to prove to yourself that you're stronger than other humans and don't need to be soothed, good luck with that.

So, you've made me think of reasons to swear off something, probably none of which apply to you, but I wonder why you would take that stance.
