that not everyone is going to like, no, appreciate your work, and that's okay. There are going to be those that feel that they are ten times better than you will ever be, and that's okay. There are going to be those who question why you proceed in your art. There are going to be those who say that you are too fat, not pretty enough, too this, and too that. People are entitled to their opinion.
Within 24 hours: I have been told by a friend that my work is not respected. I have been dumped by a writing partner. I have felt as if my work was not good enough for some. I have felt like I am not good enough by others. But I will keep pushing forward. I will not stop. I thank those who ridicule me. I thank those who don't believe. I thank those who say that I am not enough. It makes me push harder.
