I make something I'm proud of, but someone makes one better.
I mentally console myself and write myself this letter:
Dear me,
Don't cry if you have been bested.
Try now,
Make something that will not be wasted.
Don't sulk,
They are just better than you.
You know,
And there is nothing that you can do.
Do not,
Don't blame them, they worked for their skill.
Smile bright,
Because next time you will,
Be better,
And beat them in this ongoing war.
That is,
What your brain is for.
Onwards and upwards, away from the path.
Don't follow, carve your own way.
Be unique.
If someone else follows in your footsteps better, know that it is only because you made them a path to follow.
Yours sincerely,
Yourself. xx
