Do you constantly see a future so bright one filled with success, achievement, and rest, yet still feel afraid?
Do you feel like you’re meant to be someone great, but you’re terrified you may never become that person?
Everything feels so far and out of reach. You don’t even know if the fuel in the car will take you to your destination, or if the tank will hit empty before you arrive. Will the journey be filled with hurdles and bumps, or will it be smooth and free?
You keep asking yourself, “Is this really worth it?”
The dreams swallow you whole to the point where you don’t even know if fighting for it is worth the risk.
Should I really fight for this? Or should I just get a proper job?
You want it handed to you on a platter because you’re too scared to start a journey you might not even finish.
Some people say, “Just start. You’ll get there someday.”
Others say, “It’s too big. It’s unrealistic. It’s pointless.”
And slowly, their words start to make you feel pointless too.
You’re stuck between fear and excitement and wrapped in constant turmoil. There’s a flicker of eagerness for the dreams you haven’t reached, but there’s also survival to think about. You wonder if you should learn something “realistic” instead. Something safe.
But what if that safety slowly breaks you?
What if choosing practicality means bottling yourself up, shaking away the parts that make you you? What if you have to shrink yourself just to survive  all while waiting for dreams that may never come to pass?
And so you stay stuck.
Mentally drained.
Unable to start something small because your mind is consumed by something big.
That’s the life many creatives face, constantly questioning whether their dreams are worth the fight, especially when knowing that these dreams take quite some time for them to be able to survive on it alone. Yet they lay pondering everyday, wondering whether the world even wants what they have to offer.
