1. “I’m no good at …”
Say instead “It’s just a skill, and something I can learn.”
2. “I’m such a failure …”
Say instead “I got it wrong, and everybody makes mistakes.”
3. “There’s no point in trying …”
Say instead “It maybe hard, but step by step will get me there in time.”
4. “Everybody hates me; I’ve got no friends …”
Say instead “It doesn’t really matter what these people think about me. There are others who will recognize my value and true worth.”
5. “I hate myself. I deserve to be rejected …”
Say instead “I am beautiful inside, and have value and worth. I deserve to be cherished and be treated well.”

If you’re an artist, then this is for you.
This year, I want you to be unapologetic when you create.
Don’t apologize for your writing, drawing, music, designs, films, sculptures, cosplays, knitting, sewing, cooking, and anything else I might’ve missed.
Don’t apologize for the quality.
Stop being afraid of what you can accomplish. You might think you can do so much better, well guess what? You will. You’re always improving. But if you start to apologize for the best you can do at this moment, then you might restrain yourself, stop yourself from taking risks that will help you.
I know this is a hard thing to stop. I do it all the time. When I submit art to people that I’m not so confident about, I’ll apologize in advance.
This year, I challenge you, and myself, to stop doing it.
Forget things that happened before.
Don’t dwell on the people who tossed you aside or treated you like you were nothing.
You have people who love you even if it feels like you don’t.
You matter.
I got this in sociology today. Sorry for the crappy quality, but I just really love it.
I hope you guys like…eventually live the life you want to live and I hope nothing haunts you for too long and I hope you’re all kind to yourselves

gentle reminder
you are valid, you matter
[Image description: drawing of a green bird saying “Don’t let the fear of being a bad writer stop you from writing. If you want to write, write. You can do it. You’ll improve over time. It’s going to be okay and you’re going to be great. Just write.” in a blue speech bubble.]
Inktober #11. If you like my inktober doodles, you should check out my patreon. I post a lot of doodles made in traditional media (pen, watercolors, colored pencils) on it.

Focus the energy on embracing yourself instead of hating yourself.
