Better tomorrow

You don’t know when it’s going to hit you. When you will replace the smile with tears. When will gratitude transform to fear. Those moments of uncertainty hurt the most. When people you love are hurt. There is no “way?”, there is no solution but to expect a better tomorrow.

You got this.

I am hiding. Hiding behind the numbers, hiding behind my sewing machine. Hiding from people I love. Hiding for no reason. You did it all by yourself. You should be proud. You should smile and walk with your head up high. You should take the next step now. There is nothing to hide from. You got this.

Not everything, something.

Not everything, something. Something you think is important. Something with meaning. A comment, a statment, a story. Maybe it will cheer someone up. Maybe it will make someone smile, maybe they would look forward to a better tomorrow, just like you do.

You made a commitment. You better stick to it.

I will open my store on my birthday. I don't need that "special day" for the occasion but that's the story I tell myself. That is for the scared me who's looking for another excuse not to start shipping the work. It’s not going to be easy but postponing it, will not make it easier. You have a date now. You made a commitment. You better stick to it.

Gifts with no price tag.

You don’t always have to look them outside your circle. Sometimes they are in front of you. Your heroes. Like you are right now. My hero, my little brother. I get to learn from you, I get to laugh with you and watch you succeed. Those gifts have no price tag. And if you have them, you have everything.

Set a date.

Set a date. Pick a number, and say it out loud. You are shipping your work from that day forward. From that day it’s not a dream nor a hobby, it’s your work. Your responsibility. Whether you "feel like it" or not. And the sooner the better.

Feeling ready

I can’t get myself to do that jump. I can't get myself to send that email. Telling them, I am ready to ship my work. I don’t feel ready. The question is, will you ever feel ready? Will you ever feel today is good to start shipping your work? Probably not.
