I started animation at the age of 11. And I finished my first film when I was 14.

Sounds nice but it's not really encouraging for me. I'm 17, I want to be an animation director one day and I only started drawing this year.

1. Cultivate self-acceptance. That means you accept yourself for who you are right now. It means you don’t say things like “I would accept myself if … or … I’ll accept myself when.”
2. Stop going over all things you’ve done wrong, the mistakes you’ve made, and your (perceived) inadequacies.
3. Where there’s something in your past that you feel bad about say: “This is what I learned from that situation … And that was THEN and this is NOW.”
4. Don’t compare yourself to others . Instead notice the areas where you’ve grown and changed. Deliberately praise and focus on those positive changes.
5. Don’t fall into the trap of judging others – as that will often lead to being self-critical.
Sometimes it might feel like you’ve been standing in one place forever or you took a huge step backward, but try to remember that you write because you love to write. You might not have any books published, or an agent, or a publishing contract, but hopefully you’re working on something that means a lot to you. No matter what, no one can take that away from you. People might hate your writing or criticize you, but please don’t let that stop you.
Keep writing because it makes you happy.
I really think the world could use some light and positivity today. I have no words for all the tragedies occurring around the globe, so please have this positive bunny instead. 💛
