Growing Pains

I'm having one of those nights where it feels useless. I'm feeling discouraged. I'm writing, but it all looks like total shit to me. God, this sucks. This is such crappy writing.

And my standards are so high. So incredibly high that I get a nosebleed just thinking about it.

And this crap on my screen sucks. And looking at all this suck makes me feel like I suck.

It doesn't suck. I know that. This is just part of the hard. The hard is what makes it good. It's just not fun to go through the hard.

But without pain, there is no growth. Growth is pain. And I want to aspire to be this huge redwood of a soul and that's gonna require lots and lots of hard.

So shut up. Grin and bear it. These are your growing pains.
