Dear artist,

To share your art is such a vulnerability, and such a treasure. To all the artists of every kind out there, struggling to find the words, aspiring to find them, finding them now. Insert in place of "the words " a movement, a voice, a paintbrush, an idea, a screenplay. Whatever.
You are valuable. You have something to say. I...have something to say. You are brave.  You can do it. Even if you fumble for years. Even if you do it through hot tears of frustration until the freedom peaks through like a glimpse of light. And it WILL peak through.Even if you have the worst punctuation in the universe like me.
Whatever.
You have something to say in this life. You are valuable. Speak. Dance. Paint. Be brave. Be like a gentle warrior of your craft. Then fight for it. It will...be worth it. You inspire me xo
