Hehe I kinda like this.

People are very used to seeing short-attention-span success stories. And budding creators are often very self-conscious because of that expectation.

The stuff in the middle before people even notice the work sometimes comes across as "cringe", and I think being afraid to cross that barrier stops a lot of people from improving or sharing themselves with the world.

Sometimes you gotta be willing to take that walk so that you earn the privilege of being able to turn around and laugh at the lessons learned later on...

I dunno am I missing the point? Lol
