Aretha Franklin made an amazing point, it’s silly for ourselves to even consider being artists if we’re not confident in our craft.

I can safely say that when I started any task for the first time I absolutely sucked at it, it took many trial and errors to get decent, and then a ton of perseverance to get really great.
