perspective

I was sitting down on the couch getting frustrated at my creative process of writing.

I would write a sentence, stare at it, delete and repeat. 

Mia, who was working on a painting, sat back and said out loud “I ruined my painting! I liked it much more before” 

It made me realise how easy my process of typing was in comparison to hers. If I made a step in the wrong direction I could go back with no problem. She had to repaint an entire section, 15 minutes to paint it, 15 minutes to paint over it and then she was back to where she was 30 minutes earlier. 

I stopped whining immediately and got on with it. Perspective.
