This hit me deeply, thank you for putting these emotions into words. The struggle between creating from joy vs. chasing validation is so real, especially in a world that constantly equates value with numbers. I felt every word about comparison, the fear of trying, and the quiet pain of feeling unseen. But you’re absolutely right creativity deserves freedom, not perfection. And sometimes the bravest thing is to keep showing up for yourself even when no one’s clapping. Thank you for sharing this with so much honesty. You’ve spoken for so many of us ❤️✨
I was just randomly scrolling to find something to read to ease my heavy heart, and then I came across this. The timing couldn't have been more perfect. Every word hits me, and as I read, I felt a sense of relief and even realized something important. Thank you so much for this! 🥹🤍
I love this omg. Every word hit especially not feeling like you’ve achieved a lot because you keep comparing yourself to other people. Hugs to you Shreya and to everyone reading this. I hope this can be the beginning of self love and the end of comparing yourself to other people. 🧸🤍
Ksjsjshshs so happy to be back here and reading your stuff again!! This was precious, and I think you're doing such a splendid job with all your creative endeavours, cannot wait to watch you grow ❤❤❤
Well written Shreya, I like " Just make it exist first, then make it good" Don't compare is a good advice to be taken seriously, let me practice that.
