How it feels to be original in 2026: “Like, ‘oh, let’s make fun of the girl who took a risk and put herself out there creatively.” - Marnie Marie Michaels, Girls Season 3 Episode 4.
There’s always someone in your corner, even if you don’t see it. I know that for me, it sometimes feels like people are lurking more often than supporting. In this digital age, engagement is so free, so why is it reserved for those who are already successful and popular? If you’re feeling the same way, just know I’m rooting for you if you’re putting yourself out there and daring to create instead of generating or regurgitating other people’s work. Whether I know you or not, I hope you’ll keep making your art, and by your art, may you feel more connected to the world and its peoples. There is something worth saving here, so leave your mark.
