(insp.)
you are talented, and more than capable of creating something extraordinary
your way of telling a story is unique, there’s not a single story in this world that could, or would, ever be told the same way, by any writer;
meaning, you bring something remarkable to the table, a story that never would have been told, if it wasn’t for you
and no amount of self-doubt is going to change that
please keep in mind that learning is always a process. learning to draw, dance, play an instrument, but also learning to say no, learning to start conversations, learning to be more comfortable in your own skin. it’s great setting goals for yourself, as long as you allow yourself to get there gradually instead of immediately wanting to be the best at it (and setting unrealistic standards for yourself because of it). change is rarely a single moment during which everything suddenly shifts, but rather a period of time in which you learn and adjust and improve. you’ll get there, but you must give yourself time to do so.
I’m someone with no concept of a “reason for living” or “something worth doing.” I’ll just earn a reasonable amount of money by the time I’m 30 or 40, and enjoy the rest of my aimless life in a country with a low cost of living. It’s been four years since I left the school. Whether I’m awake or asleep, all I think about is money. Curses and other people having noting to do with me as long I have money. Money. Money. Money. Money, money… As long as I have money…
