It took me years to be proud of my songs and in my ability as a musician.

i would show the songs to my bandmates with the disclaimer 'it sucks but checkout this song i made" but nowadays i show my songs without wavering if i think they're good.

Just play everyday and never stop learning from music and the rest will sorta fall into place.
