Great post Jake, touched a few realities about myself, I had myself nodding yes, I'm fragile, extreme and catastrophise everything I do because I care more about what people think than what I think of myself.
But in reality, as you mention, my purpose is to be me more, and amplify this, so I feel so authentic inside, I don't give a fuck what others think... damn hard, but when I have done this, I feel brilliant and connected to who I am. I feel such joy.
I also think when you are being authentic, it feels easy, in the flow and and brings you joy. When it feels hard and forced, it's not the real you making art, but your ego.
I have yet to truely feel this but I think its an ongoing journey about just making art from within that expresses who you are, peeling away the layers of programming and touching base with your true authentic self deep within you.
Outside validation never works to make you feel real and bring you joy, but creating from within outwards does. Takes bravery, and I applause you for doing this yourself.

Thanks Jane. It's definitely a process/ journey. The more we create ( publish) the less we give a fuck. ✌️
