I know some of you out there feel like giving up. Maybe at art or writing or even life, but I'm here to say that you need to try. Just try one more time. 

If you think that you are a horrible artist, that's not true. Every single person in the entire world started out in the same place you are. It doesn't matter if you play a sport or draw or write, they were all beginners. Starters. Triers. 

Artists all started in the same place, when they decided one day, they would pick up a pencil and draw. It didn't matter that their first piece was terrible, it was their first. It was the beginning. They all had to start the same place you are in. 

And at one point, whether from a nasty comment or a rude insult, they wanted to give up. To not try anymore. They wanted it so bad, but they didn't stop. They tried again. They ignored the haters, the jerks, they kept going.

And that is what you are going to do. You are going to pick up that pencil, and you are going to try. It doesn't matter when people say you can't, take their word with a grain of salt. All that matters is you. You are in control of your life. If someone tells you you are bad at something, use that as fuel to prove them wrong. To do it, you can look at them and say, "You. Were. Wrong."

Anyone reading this, tag your friends. Tag the people that feel like giving up. Show them this. Tell them that they were wrong. Tell them they are stronger than they ever knew. Right now.
