🚨 Honest Post:
Last night, I went to bed feeling pretty defeated. It’s been over three years (and first to work on cleats) since I picked up a paintbrush, and after finishing Bubs’ new cleats, I wasn’t happy with them at all. They didn’t come close to the standard I used to hold myself to.
I had been so excited to paint again these past few months, but in that moment I thought—maybe I just don’t have it anymore. Thankfully, my husband and daughter reminded me that I was being way too hard on myself. They reminded me that it takes practice to get back to where I was, and that it’s okay if it doesn’t happen overnight.
So here’s your reminder: don’t give up on something just because it doesn’t turn out the way you hoped the first time back.
