Crushed

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve witnessed - then been slapped in the face - then crushed by other artists’ talent.

I go through - wow that’s amazing - holy fucking shit balls - why do I bother?

But if the conclusion here is to give up because someone else is so talented, why do I bother actually needs to be answered.

Because if the point is to make a difference to your audience in your own way, it doesn’t matter how good other artists are.

It’s still worth doing it.
