Is it good enough?

Here it is, my most feared enemy.

Whenever I sit down to write or create something, he sits by my side, relentlessly repeating that same question over and over.

Is it good enough?

He has no mercy or compassion.

I may be drowning in my own doubts.

I may be lost in my emptiness.

He doesn't care.

Some days, I don't know where to start.

Longing for a spark of inspiration, a glimmer of an idea to ignite my writing, I delve into my memories and scour my collection of inspiring quotes.

But he never leaves my side.

Whenever I grasp a fragment that could breathe life into my creative process, he relentlessly asks the same question.

Is it good enough?

Dousing my fire and crashing my hopes.

This morning, though, I had enough.

Today, I'm standing up to you.

Here you are, exposed for everyone to see.

Let me ask YOU this time.

Is it good enough?
