In French, you don’t really say “I miss you.” You say “tu me manques,” which is closer to “you are missing from me.”

I love that. “You are missing from me.” You are a part of me, you are essential to my being. You are like a limb, or an organ, or blood. I cannot function without you.

Selling yourself short

Tue, 29 May 2012 04:02:08 -0700

Not too long ago (actually it was four days ago), I was commissioned to do a website design which included a landing page, profile page, and two extra miscellaneous pages. I wanted to please my client and to make him happy so I kept in contact with him throughout the process and made sure that every step I made in the design was to his liking. I wanted to make sure that the end product would cater to him and his intended audience.

I was being complemented on completing the designs in a few short days (haha.. sleepless nights you see) but I kept feeling that I was being too slow. For that reason, my client had to endure my constant apologies for being slow.

When it came time for us to discuss the price, I was very afraid and nervous. I know that I gave him a quote before going forth with the project and that we both agreed on it. Yet I felt that I needed to lower the price because something inside me was telling me that I needed to compensate for my slowness.

So I did. Drastically. And even then, I thought it was too expensive.

I sat in my room thinking that the client is going to think my price is absurd and that I should lower it even further.

What he wrote in reply was something that I did not expect.

“…the market isn’t the best, especially for someone as talented as yourself. Anyway, the point of this ramble is that you’ll get some people who can afford to pay you what you’d like and then others who want high quality work for unrealistically low prices. It’s seriously a matter of not selling yourself short.”

I never would have thought that someone would say that to me, let alone someone who’s a stranger.

I have these strange battles with myself where half of me believes that I am good at what I do but then there’s the other half who’s hellbent on telling me that I suck. I think that most people can understand that situation—it isn’t fun, haha. I don’t know if I’ll ever over come that inner demon, but I hope that someday I will.
