It stares into my eyes and jumps under my skin, heating my blood to boil out of my mouth. I’ve struggled day after day this past week. Writing, working, learning, doing, trying, failing, failing, and failing again. Two rejection emails and one failed practice lesson. When will it be enough?

It will never be enough until I succeed! I know my worth. Today, tomorrow, I am worth it. I am worth the effort of writing, working, learning, doing, trying, failing, failing, and failing again. I know I am intelligent, funny, kind, compassionate, hard-working, flexible, and meticulous. I may not have a master’s degree or five years of experience, but I have resilience and the ability to learn.

What am I working towards? I want many things. I am blessed with what I have, but if I ever want more, I need to work at it. Work it, work it, and work it until it makes the right shape. I keep changing the shape to fit many different molds, but one day I will find the next shape I want and let the finished work be done.
