I've always wondered what it is that makes someone good at something.
Talent.
Is it something you're born with?
Is it how hard you work at something?
Or is it both?
Through the years I've realized that it depends on the person.
And no matter what you do or how hard you try,
there's always going to be someone who's better than you at something you want to be the best at.
I know it sounds really dumb... but I think it's only important that you're your best.
And not compared to anyone else, just compared to yourself.. and how you've improved.
I know it's really hard to go through life and not compare yourself to other people.
For me, that's pretty much all I do.
Compare, compare, compare.
I guess it's okay for shopping, just not an okay way to live.
It started with my music.
Sure, people tell I'm good and everything... but it's not really enough.
I wanted to feel like I was good at it.
But there was always someone so much better than me.
And if I wasn't as good as them, then I wasn't good at all.
Last year I pretty much started giving up on music and pouring myself into my photography.
It's been fun for the most part, because I've always loved taking pictures.
But then I see other people's photographs and compare them to mine.
I guess I don't really take into account the fact that they're 50-year-olds who have been taking photos their entire lives.
All I see though... is the fact that their photos are amazing, and mine are.... not so amazing.
After a while it's pretty discouraging.
Lately I just keep telling myself to keep working.
Keep improving.
Keep trying.
Because there's no point in giving up.

"I Believe In You"
When there's nothing to believe in, I believe in you
Forget the past and let my hand in yours be the proof
Though the strong could be my company, you're the one I choose
So remember, I believe in you
I know it feels like every eye is watching you
Waiting for you to fall, expecting you to lose
But I see victory, so all you have to do
Is remember, I believe in you
I believe, even when I see you crying
I believe, let me dream for you
When nothing comes from trying
Remember, I believe in you
There will come a day when love will lift you out of here
There will come a day when love will bring the truth
There will come a day when love will free you from your fear
And you'll remember, I believe in you
I believe, even when I see you crying
I believe, let me dream for you
When nothing comes from trying
Remember, I believe in you
