      Maybe it’s a personality thing but for things I care about I can’t just not try. I have to try. People that don’t try in their hobbies are pathetic to me. You mean to tell me you’re here stuck on this rock with me and you’re this bad at the one thing you claim to love the most ?

    I feel this way about working out in the hotel parking lot. Maybe I’ll just workout in my room. Oh look, a TV and bed.

    Hehe I kinda like this.

    People are very used to seeing short-attention-span success stories. And budding creators are often very self-conscious because of that expectation.

    The stuff in the middle before people even notice the work sometimes comes across as “cringe”, and I think being afraid to cross that barrier stops a lot of people from improving or sharing themselves with the world.

    Sometimes you gotta be willing to take that walk so that you earn the privilege of being able to turn around and laugh at the lessons learned later on…

    I dunno am I missing the point? Lol

    Being horrible at what you do is the first step to greatness.
