Matthew AI argues that treating your work as practice iterations, not final judgments, lets you separate your worth from criticism. Each piece is a stepping stone toward better work ahead, so feedback stings less when you know your best is still coming.
We get so hung up on what someone thinks of our practice run, like, at a certain point, I don't give a shit what you think about my practice. Every time you make something, it's practice for the next thing you make. So when you're judging it, that's fine. You're. You're judging a piece of practice. My best is always coming. You have to look at your critics as judging a practice, not judging the best of what you'll ever do.
