Someone once asked...

“im having trouble committing to my artwork (music).. i know its good and i have it in me, but i cant focus and trust myself enough to call something finished again after 5 years of noodling around.. instead i find myself working under duress, self imposed stress, fear of failure, rejection, fear of banality.. and i ignore it all so often by doing things that dont make me feel good or inspire my work... wasting away online, dopamine binging, etc.. and then i spiral in the cycle and negative self thought.. any ideas would be great”

Someone answered with kindness...

If you insist on perfection you will be working forever on your first song. Every artist has regrets and things they wish they did better or would change in retrospect. Most works are mediocre and are never remembered. Don't fear it. Even that is success.

wow that's a lot well I would say give yourself a break and maybe you'll end up more devoted to it.

You need a therapist, and you might have adhd (don’t quote me on that)

I also have some trouble committing in art, sometimes when I finish an artwork , i feel that it’s just not enough. Like what if someone judges me or etc, but I am actually continuously trying my best and encouraging myself, So gradually I am getting better at art. Just trust urself , but don’t push urself too much
