Inspired by another Glipho user, blogger and writer who goes by the name is 'alysdc', I have taken her one simple question (or sentence), which she spiraled from in a post she did a few days ago, and done the same. It really is a great thing to do, especially for a writer, because we tend to have plenty questions and thoughts that dwell around in our heads, and to get what we think and feel out is a means of not only sharing, but also of emptying ourselves to create more of our art.
I would love to see more of these from her, and will try to always bring my thoughts and reflections out from the questions and sentences she brings forth, as she is truly creative and asks and writes about things that are so often the daily ramblings of what goes on in everybody's heads.
Here's my 'spiraling' from 'Am I good enough?':
Am I good enough?
Well, am I?
There are so many standards to which people are almost expected to live up to.
There are so many people out there, achieving great things, who have titanic dreams; making me wonder if I am doing things that are equally as remarkable. Are my dreams amazing enough? Will I live up to what is expected of me? What IS expected of me? Will I leave my mark in this world, and will I be remembered? What does it take to leave footprints worth noting?
This question haunts me. Constantly!
I live in what is almost a suffocating fear, where I just don't know anything. I am certain of nothing.
I know what I love to do and I know what I would love to do, but am I good enough to wade into these deep waters, have the ability and endurance to fight against the current, and continue on until I reach the other side?
And who am I supposed to be good enough for? I try all the time...
My conclusion is that I can only be good enough for me. I cannot possibly make everybody happy.
Yet, am I good enough? Even by my own standards?
