You win and you loose. But you dont loose until you have kept the pen away, locked the journal so that it can never be seen again and live your life forgetting that you can write. More beautifully than others. You only remember that there is someone else who writes more beautifully than you.
Nurturing a talent is like nurturing a baby. You cannot leave it unattended. You have to take care of it, encourge and let it grow. For some,the baby is naturally smart. You, as a parent, just stand at a distance and look at your child win the race and be proud of them. And then there are those who know that the child needs a little push. They know that if the child practices to runs daily, he might, one day, even outrun the naturally talented. You decide wether or not to let the runner your in child grow. Without your encouragement and support your child might forget about his gifts.
Go out there and face the criticism. Learn and grow. Because somebody out there might always be better than you. But nothing can stop you from trying your best again and again and again. The purpose of life today is to be a better person than you were yesterday.If you dont get such a chance, then make it. But if you stop, then there would be no memories to relive, no stories to narrate and no experiences to share.
I quote Dr.Suess here. "Today you are you. There is no one youer than you."
Give yourself a chance. Prove yourself to yourself first and then to the world. Time can be viled away or utilised. Whats your choice today???

commenting here since there seems to be an error every time i try to comment on your most recent post. blogging is truly about building a dialog with your opinions and thoughts at one end and those of your readers at the other. i have been following your work for a while and i find it refreshing and frequently very thought provoking. however, blogging is not a passive pursuit and it might help if you consider balancing opinion and personal observations with what readers want to read. i have faced and still face this dilemma every time i sit to write a post.
a couple of posts that i wrote about this might help, and this is not with the intention of link dropping.
