Stop ignoring when your talent has been validated in multiple spaces. It's not a gimmick, it's not luck, it's not a once in a lifetime occurrence. You are GOOD at this thing. The proof is there. Accept it and act accordingly.
i am begging some of you to become ok with hearing not-so-great-things about yourself. especially if it is coming from a loved one that historically respects your agency. chances are you unknowingly crossed a boundary & someone is trying to tell you in a respectful way.
