Trust the process.

It's definitely something I've struggled with ever since I started creating art. There's always a demon in the back of my head questioning my every decision, magnifying trivial imperfections and blow it out of proportion. It's so easy to lose sight of the big picture and forget what I wanted to accomplish at the beginning.

Shooting film has taught me that trusting the process is really all you can do.

There's no room for the critical voices to emerge and take over right away. To achieve the best result, you just have to apply your current knowledge as much as possible, focus on the moment, and capture your vision as is.

It was quite frustrating at first, not able to review my own creation and improve on the spot, but it also helped me build confidence in my creative ability. It might not be perfect every time, but I can make it happen, without repeated scrutiny.

So to all the artists and creators out there, trust the process, and trust yourself, you can do it 🙂

p.s. also my first time trying @wav3s.lens, let's see how that goes ☺️
