When I see the work other people in my film class, I doubt myself. Their work is so good, and mine is just alright. Maybe it's just not for me.
When I read other people's book or manuscripts, I doubt myself. What if my story will never be as good? Maybe it won't work out for me.
When I read other blogs, I doubt myself. I highly doubt my blog is as good as theirs, or that's it's even the slightest bit interesting. Maybe it's not my thing.
When I get 50% in my favourite class, I doubt myself. I think that maybe it's not for me, maybe I should quit.
All I can think of is going back to bed and letting the world pass by, letting the storm calm before I go back outside.
I will not give up. I will not let my doubt pull me down. It's okay to doubt. I will come out of this doubt stronger, and more sure of myself than I am now.
Giving up is not an option. I will be okay.
I know how you feel with this ... especially the blogging. But remember this, if you're blogging for the right reasons, it won't matter who does/doesn't read. If it fulfills YOU, then it's right.
ReplyDeleteI know. That's the thing- I start doubting what I think fulfills me. Everything I like doing, I start to doubt.
