By far the most common mentioning I receive alongside idling are the remarks of negatives without refute. Petty words whose purpose is just as minute.

" Their face looks stupid! " " Why do you only make shadows? Can't you do anything artistic? " " Your words are so verbose and cryptic, no one is going to appreciate that! "

Perhaps as you sit there, or even stand, reading these words, you recall passing and social mentioning. I want to tell you something. I love a lot about who you are when you're working on the things you want to work on.

I love it when your feel so passionate about what you're doing. I even love that you care enough about what you're doing that you sometimes feel doubt you're not good enough. It means you care.

But there will always be people along or beside you who will trivialize your efforts, your wants and desires. There are people who will see your struggles and say " I hope they fail, I can't wait. " not because they are horrible people bent on your misery, but they are people who sacrificed their dreams and joys. They leave their fate branched on others, good or bad, yet they have little hope.

They traded their ability to respect themselves enough to keep trying. That does not mean your fate need be the same. So whenever you feel weakness creeping inside yourself, remember that you do not need their doubt to continue on.

You're so unhappy with yourself, be weary, for you may eventually be unhappy with everyone else that you've created the self fulfilling prophecy

but I believe in you. That's more than I have ever been given. Believe in you too. Then we might be happy together.
