I Used To Destroy My Own Art…
I’ve been creating since I was a kid.
But for years… I destroyed my own work.
People didn’t understand it.
This year I stopped hiding.
This is the beginning.

For many aspiring artists, self-doubt can become a formidable barrier that stifles creativity and progress. I relate deeply to this struggle because for years, I found myself destroying my own art simply because I feared rejection or misunderstanding. It wasn’t until recently that I decided to stop hiding and let my work speak for itself. Embracing my art has been a transformative experience — not just in terms of creativity but also in self-growth. I realized that the opinions of others shouldn’t dictate the value of my expressions and that every piece I create has worth regardless of external validation. This shift in mindset allowed me to see my art as a journey rather than a test of approval. If you’re an artist or creator facing similar challenges, I encourage you to be patient with yourself. Share your work with supportive communities like #artistsoftiktok or art forums, where you can find encouragement and inspiration. Remember, creating is a personal journey of growth and discovery, and sometimes, the process of overcoming fear is the most beautiful part of the art itself. By sharing this vulnerability, I hope to inspire others to break free from the cycle of self-doubt and destruction and start celebrating their creativity unconditionally.
