Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit.

Notes

I Need to Be

thegirlsoul:

Need to be a poet today

Need to share my thoughts

There is a rushing of the storms in my heart

And the words are fighting innumerable wars

On the battlefields of my conscience

There is a restless heart

Beating fast

So fast that even the drums might seem feeble

And the banging is against a chest 

So full and heavy with feelings

I wish to share

But beware

There is a flood that is waiting to begin.
