Hi ,

Last night, I did something stupid.

What did I do?

Well...

It was a cool night,

I'm lying on my bed while the Bluetooth Speaker Plays Lawrence Oyor's song "Favour" Plays softly in the Background.

(don't judge me, I need all the favour in this life, plus exams are coming soon)

and there i was nibbling on a pack of biscuit when I finally did it.

Mehnn,

I opened your replies at 1 a.m. while eating the biscuit.

By 1:30, I was kind of almost approaching tears.

(But imma hard guy)

Not because it was sad—but because you put words to things I thought only I felt. Like:

“I just spent all my time on a design, then trashed it because i felt ‘it wasn't good enough.’”

“My best work happens when I’m avoiding my actual job.”

“Why does everyone else’s Instagram look like they’ve got their life together?”

Here’s the truth: I’ve hit Rock Bottom a couple of times because someone said, “I wasn't good enough.” I’ve written taglines in the shower. I’ve rage-unfollowed people whose grids felt like mirrors of my own inadequacy.

So today, I’m doing two things:

• Sharing one of my first Photographs I took as a Budding Photographer Vs My Pictures now.
• 
•  

So, be the Judge, am I Good... or not?

• Asking you to invite someone who needs this level of honesty.

Forward this email to a friend with:

“I Found a place where ‘being original’ is the whole point. Join us?”

And if you’re feeling brave, hit reply and tell me:

What’s one thing you’ve created that felt “you weren't good enough”—and why you’re secretly proud of it?

I’ll start: Last week, I took a picture of a friend in the studio which I thought wouldn't be "Aesthetically Pleasing" It’s absurd.

Grateful for your messy Creativity,
