Do not, under any circumstances, delete your blog. Close comments, take
it off your bookmarks, and for God’s sake if you had a Google alert
deactivate it. Set it to private if you must. But leave it there. Your
blog may not seem consequential to you, but it is part of a complex
network that includes other people’s memories, experiences,
conversations, and, less esoterically, links. To delete it creates a
tear in the history and meaning of that network.

You are not a waste. You are not wasted. No part of you will ever be
wasted. When you are done being you, every one of your atoms will go on
to do something else. You will never run out of things to be, until the
day when nothing is anything at all anymore.
So you’ve got all of that going for you.
Do you create? You’re a miracle. Do you create badly? You’re still a
miracle, and just because you create badly now doesn’t mean you always
will. Do you think you don’t create enough? You create as much as you
should, and if you should create more than you do, you’ll find a way to
do so. Do you have things left unfinished? You can finish them. If it
turns out you can’t, you can’t. It’s not a crime. Forgive yourself for
it.
Forgive yourself in general.
