7. Be proud of your productive work.

 These past years I’ve realised one thing. I love creating and I really do want to be a creator of some sort. (idealistically writer but we’ll see about that. Branching out to more kinds of art doesn’t sound bad at all). I started with fanfictions (one direction was huge deal to me when I was 13) and they were so bad it physically hurts to read that garbage. But I’ve made progress since then and they’ll remain a memory or a tool used for a good laugh. Who knows maybe one day I’ll find this post and think it is a complete trash, you never know because you are still evolving and growing in many areas. But that can’t stop you from creating something that feels right at this exact moment. If it feels right then you can make yourself feel happier and proud of yourself.

    For me, creating has been my therapy. I love doing it. I truly let my emotions out when I write for example. It’s very important to me and I wouldn’t trade my therapist for anything because I am my own therapist. No matter what I decide to create it leaves me feeling better and great about the fact that I am doing some productive work.  I think what I’m saying is it might work for you in the similar way. I encourage you to create some art even if it might suck. It’s your doing. It’s your masterpiece. It’s awesome to feel proud of yourself.     Important to remember is this as well. Don’t forget to relax. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself about creating something great that will wow the world. It doesn’t happen that easily. Baby steps are the key in every area of art or life in general. (This part is addressed mostly to me. Seriously. Chill out and relax more.)
