on self-confidence

you follow through on what you tell you want to do.

you don’t fake it.

you don’t share every piece of your work.

you don't follow the crowd.

you go ghost.

to build your taste.

to close the skill gap.

to focus on your craft.

to run tons of experiments.

to create show-stopping projects.

to avoid hype.

to ditch vanity metrics.

to stay true to yourself.

and take your time, as much as you want.

then share something you're proud of

not once, but multiple times. again & again.

then build another one, and share.

then don't stop believing in yourself.

soon enough, you'll find your people.

that wants genuine relationships.

because real will recognize real.

soon enough, you'll unlock unexpected opportunities.

all because you've built confidence by not giving up & staying true to yourself.

until then, don't forget to pray, have fun, & enjoy the journey.
