How do you get past your writer's block? (self.writing)

So I have been writing since... I can remember, let's say at least 15 years. From short stories about all kinds of stuff to more fleshed out things, I just love expressing myself creatively, you get what I mean right?

So anyways, since I would say 3 years or so I couldn't write anything. I really want to continue, but I just can't get myself to do it. And I don't want to force myself because maybe then it turns out to be just bad, you know?

Maybe it's my personal situation that has changed, maybe it's just something that keeps me from it... but I would like to know what you do of you experience a writer's block!

BTW this is my first post on here since I just registered on here and I want to try leaving Reddit... just FYI

Thank you very much for that! Yeah for me the problem is, my writer's block has been "active" for so long and I really want to continue with my project and get other projects done as well. I want to make this my first published story, whether or not someone reads it, I don't care, but I want to achieve that, you know haha. So yes, I will try what you said and just write, whatever comes to my mind haha
