They Can’t All Be Winners

As a creator, there’s something energizing about aiming for every piece to be your best. You want to level up with each new thing you make. You want to leave a little bit of your heart in everything, let your passions fly, and feel like you’re building something meaningful.

But that can’t be the reality every day.

Sometimes you just want to post a dog picture.

Sometimes you just want to throw something into the world simply to show up.

My goal is to have something on here every day. That means some days I’m promoting the newsletter I spent all afternoon polishing. Some days I’m linking to articles I wrote for other outlets.

And some days… it’s this post.

And that’s okay. Not everything needs to win awards.

(In my case, nothing wins awards, but some posts I can write while my brain is drained.)

You create even when you know it isn't the best. That is okay.

If you want to help me keep creating my best stuff, and the weird, honest, messy stuff in between, please consider subscribing to my Life on the Balcony newsletter. Or, if you’d like to toss a little support my way, you can click the Support Me badge or use my Ko-fi link.

Every bit helps me keep showing up, even on the “not a winner, but still here” days.
