It doesn’t always have to hurt for it to be good.
This is me I’m talking to now.
Me.
Because I am still too stupid.
And unconfident.
And self-doubting.
To accept it.
Maybe one day – I will.
Hurt.
If something takes blood.
Sweat.
Tears.
And whatever other bodily fluid that metaphor-manufacturers through the ages have wanted us to excrete.
That’s fine.
But none of these things are a prerequisite for the creation of something good.
None of these things are essential for something of value to appear.
Because sometimes.
Your experience.
Talent.
And ‘you-ness’.
Mean you can produce something good in a heartbeat.
In a second.
In the blink of an eye.
And so it is also important to acknowledge the converse.
That just because you created something in a heartbeat.
In a second.
In the blink of an eye.
That does not mean that it must not be good.
Good.
It doesn’t always have to hurt for it to be good.
This is me I’m talking to now.
Me.
Because I am still too stupid.
And unconfident.
And self-doubting.
To accept it.
Maybe one day – I will.
