    I understand what you mean, so many people love to harp on about skill, quality, and commercial viability when they talk about ‘art’ for some reason. Fuck that noise, art is just a genuine desire to express yourself. All I want in this world is for others to feel willing to express themselves, and share it with others—genuine human to human dialogue. No matter what you create, as long as you wanted to make it and express yourself, you are an artist. More than that, a human with experiences who wants to communicate with others, and that is wonderful no matter what.

    Please keep creating! From one artist to another, making what you want to is always worth it. Putting yourself out there takes courage, self expression is vulnerable, and people will be hurtful sometimes. Try to remember you are valid, and deserve the ability to express yourself like anyone else. You are an artist! I’m not saying platitudes either, I still remember your comfy sweater post from a couple weeks ago I commented on. Anyway, thank you for creating, and please keep expressing yourself.
