But it\u2019s time to do the emotional work to clean up those old thought patterns that I developed as a child.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I always have to be perfect, and if everything\u2019s not specifically perfect, then I\u2019m a failure. Or I\u2019m not really that talented, so why the f***am I doing this anyway? It all has to do with my self-worth. We all have that fear of not being enough. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;Whip My Hair&#8217; hitmaker struggles to see herself as others might and thinks her struggles come from a deep-rooted issue she has but ultimately wants to provide a &#8220;service&#8221; to the world through her career.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;Sometimes we don\u2019t see ourselves the way that others see us. And sometimes that can be a blessing, and sometimes that can be the opposite of a blessing. And even if I\u2019m not going to be a musician, I still want to cultivate self-love.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It\u2019s literally insane. It\u2019s definitely a compulsion. It comes from a very deep place inside of me, and it feels extremely natural while also being very painful. I don\u2019t know how that works.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;There\u2019s so much pain in this world, it\u2019s high-key just f****** ridiculous. I\u2019m always going to want to find a way to be in service. Because music, to me, is an act of service. &#8220;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/willow-smith-reveals-painful-self-esteem-issues-really-talented-1399540.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>13 May 2024 Willow Smith worries about &#8220;not being enough&#8221; in life.
