I can say it out loud now, “I am a fashion designer”. Not because my bank account shows it (it doesn't) but because I am brave enough. Brave enough to say “look, I made this”. I have a long way ahead of me. A lot of obstacles to overcome, but I know I will not disappoint myself. Not today, not ever.

The real deal
Working after success is easy. But working after you failed it’s the real deal. This is what being “successful” really mean. That is the game lade. Make sure you remember it and keep going.

Breath. Adjust. And move on.
Maybe it's
not going to work. Not the way you planned it. They want something else, and
your job is to find a way to get it. It’s not a mistake it's a part of the journey. Breath.
Adjust. And move on. “Not going to work” is not part of your vocabulary.

Do it now.
If I could do it all over again. I would do it differently. I wouldn't waste time on perfecting it. I would let the market decide. I would open myself to social media sooner. I would work faster. I would. But none of it matters. Do it now. What's done is done. keep going.

I know my hand will never "get there" but my brain will.
He’s a famous fashion designer. I can see his studio when I look outside the window. He has a big, white table, and an inspiration board on his left wall. Once a day I reach my hand out trying “to get there”. I know my hand will never "get there" but my brain will.

Today is the day.
Today is the day. In a few hours, you will be able to see my work. But not only. You will be able to wear my best work. To make a choice and maybe choose me. If you do, know I will forever be grateful. Grateful for you believing in me.

Let the games begin.
You are going to do it now. You are going to commit. You had enough time to practice, enough time for excuses. You are going to send that email today. Letting the world know you are going to ship your work. “Thinking about it” is not an option anymore. You got this.

Exactly how you saw it in your dreams.
I am holding my phone in my hand. Thinking who will be happy for me, who can I text, telling “look, it’s me, it’s my work”, “it's me overcoming my fears and following my dreams”. But there is no one to text. Maybe it's my fault, who always used to cheer for others. But nothing is going to ruin it for me, so wipe those tears girl. Be happy for yourself. You are doing it. Exactly how you saw it in your dreams.

Do something about it.
Unhappy? Do something about it. What to move on? Do something about it. This room is too small for you? then do something about it. No one will save you but you. No one can help you but yourself. Be the one who does it despite. Who does it even though no one is by your side. You never had someone by your side anyway.

Make it the one that matters the most.
They don’t get it, and you shouldn't try to explain. Waiting for them to tell you “good job”? then you will probably wait forever. And why should you? invest your effort on other things. Tell yourself "good job". Make it the one that matters the most.

Don't worry.
Don't worry. One day you will have it all. You will wake up in the morning, un-afraid, un-depended. But until then remember to ask yourself every day: “Are you able to think?" Then you have everything.

Getting high on your own supply
Getting high on your own supply has its benefits. It means you believe in your work. It means you trust yourself and don’t need to wait for the outside world to confirm. But don’t get too comfortable. Nothing lasts forever. Don’t let those “high” days distract you. Stay focus.

You don’t need a certificate.
You don’t need a certificate. Not from people around you, not from institution. Your certificate is your kind thoughts towards yourself and others, your ability to learn, your ideas. What you do when “you don’t feel like it”. That is your certificate. And it's the only one that really matters.

Creating is always the cure.
You already know how it works. You get up cranky. You feel frustrated and you start crying. But you already know the answer. Your body knows it too. You stick to your “usual”, and it goes away. Creating is always the cure.

Those ideas will follow you where ever you go.
That space belongs to someone else. Everything can change any day. And with that so as my usual routine. But the paper I have in from of me is a reminder, of what’s important. Those ideas will follow you where ever you go. Don’t get confused, You got this.

No matter what, choose yourself first.
Saying “no”
is uncomeatable. We all want to be loved. We all want people to think highly of
us. But there is a “but”. There is always a cost. Most of the time it’s you who
is paying it. Not anymore. No matter what, choose yourself first.

Not just for a moment but a lifetime.
I don’t have it yet, but when it comes I hope nothing changes. They say it changes people, fame too. Remember, nothing is promised. Not even tomorrow. Hoping that thought will always put me in perspective. Not just for a moment but a lifetime.

All the rest are irrelevant accessories.
Don’t get confused, the place you are at is not your destiny. The place you are sleeping in is not your “home”. Your current reality is not your future. You thought are your destiny. Your home is your mind. All the rest are irrelevant accessories.

Not today, Not ever.
I am not worried about running out of ideas. Days like today should make me nervous, but they are not. It means I am thinking harder, aiming higher. Thinking is the best part. Don’t rush it. Put your best work out there, not because you “have to” but because that is what you do.

Start today for a different reality tomorrow.
I am ready. I am ready for the next chapter. The “new” me. Ready for the new challenges ahead of me. I took too many days to quotation, too many days to fix “one more thing”. I am ready to make mistakes, take responsibility, and learn as I ago. Start today for a different reality tomorrow.

Better than you ever imagined.
"What if it turns better than you ever imagined?". If all you ever dreamed about will become your reality. If soon you will look at the world through a diffrernt window, from different eyes, diffrernt “you”. You got this. You will figure it out as you go. Like you always do.

Don’t you forget it.
You will always find something to do. Something to change. Something to upgrade. These are all excuses. You will always have something. Remember, being busy doesn’t mean you are doing the work. The work is what you are trying to avoid. Don’t you forget it.

One day.
One day I would look back on those days, and be proud I kept going. Despite the endless doubt, despite the noise, despite the feeling of walking on an impossible journey. I working now on the later. When I am closing my eyes and see it. And the future looks exactly as I see it in my dreams.

Nothing extraordinary.
Nothing special. It’s quiet, only a few people are here, working. I have the whole table to myself and I can hear myself think. I am breathing while doing the work, and smile. Those moments are the moments I get that happiness wave. Nothing extraordinary. But it’s truly my happiness.

You can do it. Believe me.
I am hearing
them in my ear. They are telling me all the things I already know any yet, I am
struggling to make the next step. “Do you want to stay here forever”? I ask
myself. And the answer is- I don’t. Nothing will get you out of here, except taking that step. You can do it. believe me.

Don’t “think” about it. Do it.
I know I don’t need to see a video saying "you should go for it", or waiting for an email saying I am good enough. I need to tell myself, now is the time. It’s not going to be perfect. It’s scary, I will fail but it will be worth it. Don’t “think” about it. You did it for a very long time. Now is the time to do it.
