General thought on competing

Hey guys, I hope you are all doing great and that you have been able to relax and have a little fun. 

Today I wanted to talk about a very special topic. 

Competing. 

I love what I do, and turning what I love into more than a hobby has been a dream coming true. 

I wanted to let you guys know how I feel about competing again and really having the strides and motivation to continue with this passion. Currently, I am super exhausted and I wonder if I should take a few days after these hectic last weeks.

I really need to stay focused on DETO and I believe that I have a great chance to perform at a peak level for myself and hopefully represent our country well. This of course comes with a lot of stress and responsibility as everything I do must be perfect in order for it to be effective and to work. 

But I still think that resting is part of the journey and I should do it more often and stop neglecting it. I sometimes can't help but feel guilty when I "rest" and keep thinking that I am wasting precious time.

I love the costume that I have chosen and I really want to do it justice, as it is truly a beautiful piece of work. It is also one of the more fun costumes that I have gotten to make and it certainly pushes my creativity in a new way.

The reason for me to want to compete and achieve results is that I want to not only prove to myself that all the handwork pays off, but also to have this as an extra layer that will help me achieve my other goals as well.

Completions are also an amazing tool for self-reflection and I honestly learn so much with each time I get up on that stage. I can really talk for hours about my experiences so far, but that Is a story for another day.

For now, I am wishing you a great day ahead and I hope that you guys stay safe. 

Ps. I am not sad in the photo, it's just my batteries being drained.
