It just kinda hit me that what's in my head and what's in my heart are different when it comes to my personal judgement of my own art.
In my head, I've been asking, "Am I a good artist?"
But in my heart I think I've actually been asking, "Am I good enough for other artists to approach me? Or at least good enough to not seem like I'm beneath other artists who I want to talk to?"
And it really sucks because I want to be someone other artists of varying skills can approach. It's still a confidence thing. I want to feel confident enough that I can talk to other artists who I see as better than me and maybe even do trades with them. But I don't want others to feel like I will look down on them for being early in their art journey.
