It's June and you SHOULD be proud

But are you?
I was listening to my local news and there was a therapist on as a guest speaker to help people with feelings of anxiety; that instead of looking ahead at what needs to be done, look back at all of your accomplishments up to this point already and relish in them.
It's nothing that I needed to hear from a therapist per se, but it was a coincidental reminder; it came at the right time as I was beginning to feel overwhelmed with all the work that I need to complete - and that dreaded imaginary timer.
So instead of, "OMG, i'm thirty and I'm drawing comic books? how LAME am I?", I'll remind myself that there are 60-70 year old men writing Romantasy...and making bank.
I'll start with what I've done so far - if my memory serves me correctly, I'll start from the earliest one.
