“This looks terrible.” “You are not enough.” “Just give up already.” “Keep going.” This is the battle within the artist. The act of creating can often be plagued with the darkest of thoughts. Thoughts that you will never be good enough. Thoughts that the execution will far short. Paralyzing thoughts that will try to pull you under. The feeling to simply pack your bags and go home. But it’s within these battles that the true artist flourishes. If you can learn to push through the negativity and self-doubt, and let your creativity and imagination reign supreme, then you will ultimately tear open the fabric of uncertainty and let your art shine through.
