You know what? My inner critic is not a big jerk. My inner critic fucking rocks and holds me accountable and makes sure that I do the best work possible and not just put things out into the world that are 'good enough'. And yeah, I know that a lot of people do have jerky inner critics, but hot damn, I love mine.
@ellemef my inner critic is pretty harsh sometimes, mostly having to do with not sending out the wrong message.
