I have a fear of including things I like in my stories. For example: Female rage, romance, etc… because I feel that makes me inflexible and a less talented writer. I’ve always felt like “real” writers can write in any genre and don’t have the same elements in every one of their novels. The idea of writing what you love is a beautiful thing but for me I worry that in writing what I love, I may not get to the level that I want to be at as a writer. I guess I equate enjoying writing and being free with it to = not being worthy. And being complex in ways that I may not necessarily love and is challenging = good work from me.
is it possible that some of your apprehension toward writing what you love has to do with fear of vulnerability? writing what you love exposes you. it feels like walking around naked. it allows people to perceive you, and conversely, it allows people to misperceive you. both of those things are terrifying. it's much more comfortable to catch a wide, distant net of an aesthetic. that way, it doesn't matter what a reader thinks of it; you don't care that much about it anyway, right?
it's interesting that you say "real" writers can write in any genre. i'm looking at my bookshelf right now and there's not a single author on it that goes beyond their established genre, or even writes particularly varying stories with an ensemble of complex characters. go to the bibliography of any prolific author and see how wide their variation is. sometimes you'll see writers write in short form and long form. occasionally a writer will write children's literature and adult literature. there are writers who live in the venn diagram overlap of genres but don't tend to stray in either direction. sometimes screenwriters become novelists and vice versa. but otherwise, it's impractical to write so widely, so consistently. your agent and editors will all have their niche and it will be difficult for them to represent you and support your work if you have three sci fi bestsellers and all of a sudden you want to write some subsubsubgenre of true crime.
every artist has two things: their medium and their subject. instead of thinking of "things you love" think of them as your subjects, in the way a painter's subject can be nature, or a poet's subject can be grief. unless you're only writing for money, you have no choice but to write your subjects. even if you try not to, they'll bleed into your work. here's an example: one time in workshop my good buddy Chris said to me, "you write a lot about class." to which i thought, i love you Chris but this is porn. but he was right. all my characters have a conflict with money. often they're blue collar workers or don't have a job at all. most of my characters don't even go to college. after he said that, i started to lean into it and become more aware of it. the more aware of it i became, the more strongly i felt about it. you can go through my AO3 and scroll through my fics and see how important money is in them. and if it's not money, it's the military. and if it's not the military, it's some other loss of bodily autonomy at the hands of a greater institution.
think outside of writing. chefs have types of food they prefer to cook. scholars have their fields. athletes have their sport. musicians have their instrument. the more you zero in on something, the better you become at it. as a writer, the more you write your subject, the better you'll become at depicting it.
your subjects may grow and change over time. they may not. you may have some subjects you wear out, and you may have others that you sew into everything you write. you may have repetitions of images, characters, resolutions, and conflicts. it's good to experiment and move beyond your comfort zone sometimes, but you have to find comfort in your comfort zone first. and you do that by embracing your subjects.

Remake of old post: Finnish school subjects, both formal and informal
DISCLAIMER! These words are only the most widely agreed ones and you might hear different versions around the country. For example, the kotsa/köksä debate is a big one so I included both. (I say it's kotsa.) All of these subjects also have formal shortenings (for example: äidinkieli to ai, englanti to ena ect.) and you might hear those being used too.
Native language - Äidinkieli, äikkä
Maths - Matematiikka, matikka
English - Englanti, enkku
Swedish - Ruotsi
Environmental studies - Ympäristöoppi, ymppä
Biology - Biologia, bilsa
Religion - Uskonto
Ethics - Elämänkatsomustieto
Music - Musiikki, musa
Arts - Kuvataide, kuvis
Crafts - Käsityö, kässä
PE - Liikunta, liikka
Social studies - Yhteiskuntaoppi
History - Historia, hissa
Physics - Fysiikka, fyssa
Chemistry - Kemia
Geography - Maantieto, mantsa
Health education - Terveystieto, terkka
Home economics - Kotitalous, kotsa/köksä
Guidance counselling - Oppilaanohjaus, Opinto-ohjaus
Psychology - Psykologia, psyka
Philosophy - Filosofia, filsa

National Status of the Former (and Ongoing) British Empire
I've been doing research on the nationalities of all the former territories occupied, colonized, settled, controlled, or otherwise claimed by the British Empire. Short story: it's a mess.
But it also occurred to me in doing that that I couldn't find a good list of former colonies and territories that noted their status today (in Jan. 2024). So... here we are! I bet there are errors and I bet there are omissions, because – again – it's a MESS to get a clear picture of. And according to many legal historians and cultural studies scholars, that was and is on purpose.
Snapshots of those lists below -- but the full, and better-formatted version on my wordpress [because Tumblr didn't support the table I tried to make].

[* Denotes countries now in the Commonwealth of Nations.]
Again, I am sure there are issues here, as there have been contestations, debates, and challenges to the statuses of people born on land around the world that was once touched by British imperial boots.
For more on the CHAOS of those struggles, including the fundamental problem with establishing what “British nationality” even means, I highly recommend:
Ann Dummett and Andrew Nicol, Subjects, Citizens, Aliens and Others: Nationality and Immigration Law (London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1990).

Can you write about the subjects at Alfea? Like what kind of classes are there ect.
Classes at Alfea
According to Winx Club Fandom wiki, there are:
Potionology
Metamorphosimbiosis
Magiphilosophy
Good manners
Cognitive analysis
Applied convergence
Magic invocation
Magic self-defense
Winxology (is this for real?)
Biotransformation
Magiphysiscs
History of Magic
Cosmomagic
these are the "official" ones.
I might add:
Flying - someone ought to teach those poor girls the proper way to fly
Strategy - like, how to prepare attack and defense according to the enemy they might face
Foreign languages - unless everyone in the Magic Dimension speaks the same language (unlikely)
