⛅️ This week has been a bit hazy—I haven’t been feeling my best. And that’s okay. There are days like that. But this time, it felt like something deeper, as if something was off. Like I wasn’t *enough*.
🌞 Thankfully, as the days went by, I started to feel better. Today, I feel like myself again—like I’ve put my human suit back on and climbed back on the horse.
✏️ I picked up my pencil and started drawing again, just me and my iPad, without any expectations weighing me down. It felt good—peaceful even—to create for the sake of creating.
🦉 What I’ve realized is this: It’s not bad to have goals or aspirations. Those are important! But what becomes unhealthy is chasing perfectionism while trying to achieve those goals. For me, perfectionism turns into a spiral—not rainbows and butterflies but a storm cloud of self-doubt.
I guess I just want to share this in case anyone out there needs to hear it: It’s okay to be imperfect. And most importantly, it’s okay to just be yourself.
[To those little leprechauns of doubt kicking and screaming inside my head, I can confidently say:*Not today, Satan!*](https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsp3lc6wd4tqrwzssqmtv3mk6fctdzqn3hctjugrfkhtev6q68ht0g488mat)
🎨 As part of my journey back to myself this week, I decided to draw something simple and even try my hand at a little animation since it had been a while. Here’s what I came up with:
Imposter syndrome can be deceiving—it whispers lies about your worth and tries to steal your joy—but just like anything in life, ***this too shall pass.***
🎢 The ebbs and flows are part of life’s natural rhythm; you’d think I’d have learned that by now! But life has its way of (re)teaching us lessons when we need them most.
✨ To anyone reading this who might be struggling: Be kind to yourself. You’re doing better than you think you are. And remember—**you are enough.**
Godspeed
