“It is a muggy August morning and the air in the room is still. Well over half the year has gone by already, which is a worry. I wanted to make something of myself this year. There’s still time, I think. Definitely some time.”
— Yrsa Daley-Ward, “The Terrible” (via sapphoisms)

you are not less talented than you used to be. you are not less intelligent than you used to be. you are not less attractive, or less funny, or less creative. no offense, but the reason you think you're no longer good enough has nothing to do with losing your abilities, and everything to do with a lack of self confidence and emotional impermanence that tricks you into believing you're impostor of yourself. you dont need to keep proving that you're still worthy of your past accomplishments.
