Thank you!!! I was just having a day where I felt blah with my sculpting. I was looking at everyone else’s work going “I am not as good..blah blah blah..” I haven’t sculpted much since 2005ish when I went into my eating disorder, art took a back seat, then my grandma moved in, then she got sick with dementia and then my house started construction and it was too dusty, then i was way too busy with my grandma who had to be taken care of like a baby, she’s gone now and i have had a hard year last year with grief. now I am back to wanting to do art but when I do work on projects, I feel like i am no longer good enough.. maybe today I’ll try tonight. It’s still early enough and callie is sleeping.
Funny, I did exactly that with writing when I was sick. There’s a chapter about it in my book, The Predatory Lies of Anorexia. BY ALL MEANS, PICK IT UP!! I’m so sorry about your grandmother. I lost my granddad a couple years ago and it hurt so much in ways I didn’t even expect.
You are absolutely good enough – just discovered a new verse, it’s for you and me!!
Galatians 6:4
The Message (MSG)
4-5 Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don’t be impressed with yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life.
