Gimp is not a word processor There is no easy way with Gimp it is a bitmap editor not a universal graphics tool. I thought the old text tool might make things easier for you, obviously not. So forget that. I am using Gimp 2.10.2 so little bits like the text box handles (little squares in the corners) look different but the operation is the same. Draw the text box, paste the text in. If the length of the text is too large with the set font size, there is no easy way. Reduce the size of the font, **start again**. Your inverted L is actually easier than most. Paste the text in Set the justification to filled. Go to the start of each line in turn and use the TAB key to indent the text. Just keep tapping TAB until the text moves. Should not be any need to use Enter to break a line. That is about the best I can advise. While you can do this in Gimp, the correct tool for the job is the freeware DTP application Scribus.
