The first photo is me when I was 17 writing a novel I started when I was 15. The second photo is a screenshot of the pages document where I kept all of my outtakes. For this novel alone, I wrote 100,000+ more words in google docs and probably another 100,000+ scattered in ibooks author or notes app. I'm not sharing this to brag about how many words I wrote LOL But about the real fear I had during those years as a teenager. The fear that none of this would amount to anything--that my book would never get published, the story never read, and I would fail.
I know first-hand how hard it can be to put all your soul and effort into something and not know the outcome at all. I know how stupid you can feel and how stressful it is knowing that if you fail at doing this thing, you would be proving others right. For the longest time I lived with this fear.
Now, although I still struggle at times, I've learnt that the pursuit of my goals is simply my way of life. It was not a way out of (my then shitty life) like I used to think, a way to prove myself and a way to success. It's simply: my life which is full of trial and error and failure and ups and downs. And I will keep doing the things I love no matter if it amounts to anything because this is how I want to live.
I want to tell you that no matter what you try, it will succeed. And that if you try hard enough you can do anything. Yes, actually, you can do anything. And yes, if you keep trying, there's a high chance of success. But life is unpredictable in all sorts of ways and you should not bank your happiness on the success/failure of any project.
So, I wanted to write this for artists (or anyone really) who are questioning whether or not they should start something:
πThere are so many artists who create great works that may never garner the attention they deserve. But their efforts still live somewhere in this world. Somewhere, that painting, or book or poem or video may draw the eye of someone and change their life in some way. Someday, even, it may be unearthed and loved. Yet if those things never occur, somewhere on this earth, a remnant of it exists. Something will exist in this world, only because of you.π
Thank you for reading this long post!
