up late a night feeling inferior

sometimes this happens. people around me are proud of me, but i don’t feel like i’m enough sometimes.i am studying medicine at a very selective and nationally prestigious technical highschool. but i still feel inferior in respect to my other talents, such as singing and theater. and honestly it’s not something i’d pursue seriously, but i still want to be proud of myself.

i want to change my perspective; instead of talking down to myself and comparing myself to other people, i want to make it more positive. like maybe it inspiring me to do something that is unique and different, and matches with my personal style.

i think the only thing i can really do is put myself out there and worry about my own definition of success instead of another person. oh and maybe take a break from social media. it’s a pretty common feeling, i’m sure. any thoughts?

my thoughts are that you're on the right track. a social media detox would probably be great, but i don't know you and how you operate.

the fact that you made it into such an impressive school is something to be proud of. the fact that you can still make time for what you're passionate about is also something that you should be proud of. it doesn't matter how good you are at singing or theater or whatever you like. i'm going to college for theater, and i've seen people with all the talent in the world, but there's still something that some of them lack, something that's holding them back: joy.

if you love what you're doing, it doesn't matter how "good" you are. as long as you let that passion shine through, that excitement about what you're doing, nobody will care if you weren't "perfect" at it.

keep chugging on. there are so many beautiful things that your future can hold if you just let yourself work towards it.
