## Resource

You ever look at something you made — a meal, a drawing, a sentence, a plan, a life — and immediately see everything that's wrong with it? The crooked line. The missed ingredient. The awkward phrasing. The gap between what you imagined and what you produced. And instead of stepping back to see the whole thing, you zoom in on the flaws and decide it's not enough. Not good enough. Not finished enough. Not ready enough. Not worthy enough. Not complete enough to show the world. I do this constantly. I wrote something the other day — a short piece, nothing important, just a few paragraphs about a feeling I was having — and immediately deleted it. Not because it was bad. Because it wasn't perfect. It was good. It was fine. It said what I wanted it to say.
