    thank you so much! I am inspired by you to do well and practice more. One day I find myself having self-doubts if I should give graphic design a try since I love what I do. but, sometimes I couldn't help but to overthink and compare my works to other designer out there. it is also the reason why I'm having a hard time to finish a single project and be committed to learn different softwares such as adobe. I am 17 and turning 18 this december. I have this mindset that I'm too young to engage with this field and keep up with other graphic designers out there. I really wanted to consider graphic design as a career because I know that i'm enjoying it.

    Finally a video that is simple! How does the PC handle doing video editing? Right now I have a dell XPS 17 with pretty good specs but when I’m editing video it takes a lot out of the performance and loves to lag.
