Reconsider your value as a person. We are meant to dance and sing and create and explore, not to perfect those things but to discover reality and appreciate existence. Being "talented" is a gift and a curse, because you're taught at a young age to compete and to shine your brilliance for the world to see.
That's not why you're here.
Your parents and the adults around you were proud of you and wanted you to feel supported, encouraged, and even driven to be successful. But you don't owe them or anyone else your effort. If you want to stare at a wall and ponder existence, you aren't wasting your time or your gifts.
You mean more to people than you will ever know.
At the same time, people don't think about you as often as you expect. Reach out and make connections. You don't have to be the best. You don't need to prove your worth to exist. Being around other people is enough. Listen and share. Connect and grow as a person.
Regret is the proof of your growth. You cannot change what you have done, but you can embrace the cringe as a reminder to be better. We're all on a journey on this rock hurtling through space, and every day is a new adventure waiting for you. Be curious about what's next, and seek out new perspectives.
You have a lot to give and a lot to learn.
