Your Art Matters

“My words matter.”

I think, maybe more than anything else, these three words have inspired me to share my words with the world, even when it felt like nobody was listening.

As creatives, most of us go through periods of feeling unimportant. Does the work we do really matter? Is anyone listening?

Most of us are looking to the outside world for validation, but I gently urge you to not look out there for answers. Don’t measure your value by numbers and statistics.

Look within.

Do you feel deep inside like your art matters?

What does your heart tell you?

When I first started my website and social media accounts for my writing, I told myself that if only one person found meaning and value in the words I shared, that would be enough. I wrote for that one person.

That person who I imagined was kind of like me–with a dream in their heart and a desire to follow it, even though they were absolutely terrified. (What was I afraid of? Failure. Judgment. Rejection. Being seen.)

If I had judged my value by my external statistics in the beginning, I probably would’ve quit after just a couple months of trying. This website received zero traffic when I first started out. I’d get a handful of likes on my Instagram posts. It felt like nothing I was doing or saying was really making a difference.

But still, my heart kept whispering, Keep going.

So I did, despite the fact that I didn’t know if anyone was on the other side listening.

And then, one day, that one person appeared in my email inbox.

A woman who had been going through a really difficult time. She said she stayed up until two in the morning reading all of my chakra articles, and for the first time in a long time, she felt excited about something.

Eventually, more emails came, and my traffic increased beyond what I had ever expected.

But still, even now when I create something new, I think about that one person. And every time I send something out into the world, I think, “If this makes a difference in just one person’s life, that will be enough.”

So I hope you know that your art matters. Your creations matter. What you put out into the world matters.

And if you’re having a difficult time, don’t try to make everyone happy. Don’t try to be everything to everyone.

Just create for that one person.

Because there is someone out there who needs exactly what you have to offer. I promise.

Your Worthiness as a Writer

I’ve been writing since I was seven years old, and and I’ve gone through all of the ups and downs that many writers have experienced, I’ve had months during which writing was the only thing I wanted to do in my spare time, and I’ve gone months without writing a single word. I’ve written words that I’ve felt unbelievably confident in, and I’ve gone through spells where nothing I write is ever good enough (in my head). I’ve felt the highs of success and the lows of rejection and seeming failure.

But whenever I begin to feel like maybe I’m just not meant to be a writer, I go back to that original moment when I was seven years old: that deep, inner knowing that this is what I’m meant to do when I grow up. That knowing is still there, and even now, I still feel like I’m growing up. I’m still exploring my voice and making new discoveries as a writer each and every day.

I didn’t always feel worthy, but I know now, I have always been worthy and always will be worthy of being a writer.

And if nothing else, that’s what I want you to know, too: you are worthy. You are enough. You have what it takes. The creativity, inspiration, and divine flow of the Universe are available to you at all times. Some days, you just have to stop chasing inspiration outside of yourself, step back, and go within. Usually, when you slow down for a bit and quiet your mind, everything you’ve been looking for will come find you. (At least, that’s how it always works for me.)

You don’t need permission to step out into the world. You just need to know that you are worthy of every single dream that’s been put in your heart. All it takes is one tiny moment of courage to take that first step. Then, when you step back and stop trying to control the narrative, you’ll see how the Universe is giving you everything you need to succeed. It will lead you down the right path, one courageous step at a time.

You have an incredible gift to offer this world. And the only permission you need to step off the sidelines into the world is your own. And you are worthy. Unconditionally. Infinitely. Always.
