Has anyone ever experienced a time when they felt accomplished when they had completed a highly anticipated task, but once they considered their goals and progress up to this point, they were disappointed at how little it was compared to what they had put in?

I’m sure I explained that poorly, but I’m gonna keep going because I’m ready to get to the point. I know I’m not the only one who has felt this feeling, because I’m sure we’ve all been in a situation when we finish something, let’s say a project. And we feel proud of it, we think it’s very good. But then, one day, we look at it and it’s not as good as we thought it was. I’m sure most of you artists and designers feel this way, but it’s different for me. I sometimes feel like I just haven’t done anything good enough to have a career, ever. For example, a year or two ago, I had spent this entire semester perfecting this one Microsoft PowerPoint presentation for my parents and I. It was 100 slides, and of all my work, I was proud of it. But it was a presentation for a workshop! What does that even mean? I worked my ass off for a presentation that no one will ever see. I have never been as proud in my life. The presentation was perfect. But now, I laugh at my own foolishness, and how I actually felt like it was something. I could have done something more. But what? Is this feeling normal?
