I knew this would happen.

Only 4 days in, and already I’m wondering if I’ll make it through all 365.
Not because I don’t want to. I do. So badly.
But because… what if I fail?

What if life gets in the way?
What if I lose momentum, energy, belief?
What if I show up here, day after day, only to realize it wasn’t enough?

And then I remind myself of something really important:
The goal is not to be perfect. The goal is to stay.
Stay with myself. Stay with the process. Stay with the art.
Even when it’s messy. Especially then.

Success isn’t a straight line. And let’s be honest – some days I’ll be proud, some days I’ll want to throw everything in the bin.
But I made myself a promise:
To show up. Not as a machine or a professional marketer. But as a human.
One that dares to keep going, even when doubt is screaming louder than dreams.

So no, I don’t know if I’ll make it all the way.
But I know this:
Giving up won’t get me any closer.
