Writing is hard, it may even sometimes be the hardest thing you've ever done. It may even seem like it's not worth it, that you've just wasted so much time or effort, but you get out of writing what you put into it. You may not always be impressed with your work or feel that anyone will appreciate it, but as long as you learn to appreciate your talent and what it comes out from your hard work and growth then that is the meaning of writing.

There may come a moment when you're writing when you want to quit, when you hate yourself, when you think you have no talent or any right to be putting your words out there for people to see. I have felt that way more times than I can count or I would care to admit. It is a rite of passage, it is a trial that all writers face and forces us to overcome our fears and feelings of self doubt.

We as human beings are born with something to say, a message to share. It varies from person to person but we all have something to say and words that want nothing more than to help you convey them in the best way possible. If you can learn to love yourself and your words then nothing will be impossible for you to write, it may take some time but it will not be impossible. Each paragraph is a product of your affection for your craft and the adoration of your hard work. Appreciate the beauty in what you do, be your own biggest fan. Sometimes that's all you need.
