A Case of Not Good Enough
When creating isn’t enough!
There seems to be a blockage. I won’t call it writer’s block. I have been writing. Just not publishing.
Of late, I am swallowed with this feeling of I am not good enough — at anything. Anything I do, anything I enjoyed doing, anything I was passionate about — I feel I am not good enough. So, I am shying away from showing what I am creating.
My days are filled with creativity of all kinds. I am learning new skills and coming up with new ideas and creating what I never thought I would dare to try. But this pull of ‘it’s not good enough’ is holding me back from sharing my creations with the world.
Every creator needs the energy to try out and create. At the same time what helps them go on is the courage to show off. I am lacking in that courage.
I wasn’t like this. What happened? I am not sure.
Have you ever been in such a space? What did you do to get out of it?
