I ask myself this about a hundred times

Posted by Odd-Naw - November 29th, 2024


I ask myself all the time if I’m a good artist, I don’t even know anymore. I once drew all the time but now I rarely do and I don’t know why and it’s hurts to think about. I’ve drawn most of my life and I thought it was the only thing I was truly good at. 21 years old and yet I’m still an amateur, I don’t know what happened to make me end up here as completely nothing when others do it so much better and they have more success. I don’t want to stop doing art, it’s a part of me and I can’t just kill it. I’m just a fucking mess, I wish I wasn’t, I wish I knew how to be better.

I also tell myself this often. I found that the secret of it is that your mind tends to lie to you. The truth is that you are much better than you think you are. Your mind will deny it time and time again, but if you look carefully and focus on what you are good at, you will realize just how capable you are. It takes time to learn to trust yourself. You have to learn to not be afraid of failing. I'm still learning that lesson myself.
If anything, understand that you are stronger than you think. Comparison is the death of joy, so focus on your journey and your growth. No one else's. Take care, friend.

You are definitely under appreciated here.
