Your accomplishments arent tied to your worth.
Youve been putting your heart and soul into your work.
Youve been trying your hardest.

Its brave to even try.
Comparing yourself to others is only going to hurt you.
Your journey is different than everyone around you.
It doesnt mean you are a lost cause.
Use them as motivation.
Be happy for them instead of wishing you were them.
No matter what happens, you always have next year.
If you didnt accomplish what you wanted this year, then theres always next year.
You have plenty of time to continue working on projects that you havent had the opportunity to finish.
Theres nothing special about it, so dont kick yourself for failing to finish something by that arbitrary date.
Your world doesnt revolve around your work.
You might have had to focus on family members and friends or your own mental health.
Putting energy into other areas of your life isnt a waste.
And staying alive is one of them.
Despite how hard it was, you made it to today.
You should be proud of yourself for that.
You should never feel guilty for resting.
Dont be annoyed with yourself for how many days youve taken off this year.
Remember, you dont have toearna break.
You dont want to push yourself to the point of burning out.
you better be gentle with yourself.
Youre doing better than you realize.
Think of where you were a few years ago.
Now think of how much better youve gotten at your craft since then.
Even though you might not have reached your biggest goals yet, youre growing as an artist.
Youre learning more every single year.
It just might take a little more time.
