  I love literature, but whenever I mention my favorite novels or poems, I get an "ew books" slapped in my face.

  
  
  That's the real world, and this is the internet!
  
  Not to mention, it doesn't help that most people (In the US anyway) dislike reading due to the teaching methods of English class. Which frankly, I can see why quite a bit of people don't like reading what with schools doing nowadays.
  
  Keep writing and posting on the internet. It's guaranteed that at least one person will read it anyway, regardless of whether or not they comment, and that's good enough.

  you need people who appreciate writing, since if someone has barely read books or poetry, how could they actually know?
  unfortunately these people are fewer and farther in between, especially in the age of [s]persuasion[/s] I mean internet
  
  and it is true, the love of reading has been largely stripped of its intrinsic motivation by the time you're out of highschool, since we are forced to read chapter upon chapter of needed readings.

  This is so true, and so sad.

  I find that if I don't like a book, I just don't read it. Like A Tale of Two Cities. Or Shakespeare.
  But seriously Hanna, you have us to share you're writing with, and we like it. :)

  It's a shame people don't appreciate it as much as they should.
  I have always loved reading and writing, I find it a way to make my inner self come to life on pages.
  To show everything I have held back, whether it's joy, anger, sadness, confusion, whatever comes to mind.
  
  And I can keep it away from the whole world as a venting tool and it keeps the sane part of me (or what is left of it) at peace.
  If I didn't write, who knows where I would be at.
  Because of my docile and non intimidating nature, I'm always used as a rug for people to step on and wipe the mud off of their shoes onto me.
  In my opinion :
  Life is not worth living if you cannot express the way you live it.

  I write very often, it's just the matter of saying "is this postable?"

  Surely, they're all postable, regardless of their quality. Unless it's strangely over-explicit, but you can make a personal pastebin to host it on if it's riddled with censors.
  
  Whether or not you think it's postable is your self-esteem and conscience. Personally, I think it's better to blindly post away just for it to be seen.

  well I was going through my journals and found two that caught my eye because both were two unique experiences
  
  My aunt taught me that whenever something bad would happen that I didn't want to see
  I should close my eyes and count until I am able to realize the situation and keep myself calm
  
  the first one is 51
  I was in an abusive relationship (NOT THE ONE I'M IN NOW)
  and I was afraid of him hurting my family, so I would lie to them to keep their noses out of it.

  and then this one I wrote in April when I was in a car accident and I shattered my knee and broke my ankle, dislocated my shoulder and fractured my wrist.
  +
  a concusion
  and a lot of cuts and bruises a long the way
  
  
  It's called 107 and it's continued from my other entry and I wrote it with my left hand in the hospital a few days after my accident on a napkin
  so it was very messy and almost unreadable.
  
  My car had flipped at around 10pm when a drunk driver hit me
  and I wasn't able to think right when I crashed
  and the last thing I remember that night is seeing him in handcuffs without a scratch on him
  and falling asleep in the ambulance

  Probably the only good thing about depression is the writing that comes with it. Great writing, I love all of it.

  Those counting pieces were really good. I like them, though it makes me feel bad for liking them with their backgrounds.

  Meh it's fine, I appreciate that someone likes them
  to me it's just pointless babble out of stress.
