Am I getting better?

Am I getting better?

Am I really improving?

Am I really going to impact the world?

Or is this all for nothing?

Is this all to satisfy my own ego?

To make myself believe that I’m making a difference?

Is my writing getting better?

Am I really becoming more confident?

More sure of myself?

Or am I lying to myself?

Is anyone even paying attention?

Does it matter?

Why does it matter?

Why are we always looking for validation?

To make us feel worthy?

Of what?

So other people like us?

Do we need everyone to like us?

Or just enough people to like us?


Why do we want everyone to like us?

Constantly looking for attention?

Why do we want what other people want?

Why do we focus on what we don’t have rather than what we do?

Why do we focus on the negative instead of the positive?

Do these questions even matter?

Does my writing even matter?

Do I even matter?

We’re all supposed to matter, but do we?

Does our opinion really matter?

Or are we all just speaking into the void?

Why do we pretend like we know what we’re doing?

Like we have it all figured out?

Or are we just pretending?

Shouldn’t it be about having fun?

About improving the world in whatever way you think?

Trying to do something every day that’s bigger than yourself?

Trying to get better even if it doesn’t feel like it?

So don’t worry if you’re getting better.

At least you’re trying.
