   If you're ever scrolling online, and you see a piece of art, and you think, "Hey, that's nice, I like that!" Take the 30 seconds it takes to send that message. It can make such a huge difference to hear even one compliment. I know, I know, we shouldn't need so much validation merely to express ourselves through a medium, but art is a way to connect to other people for many people, and one nice comment can mean so much sometimes.

     @kimlockhartga @RickiTarr my wife is a published author and it's remarkable how dismissive family can be.
     She has this cartoon on her desk - apparently for a reason.

     @RickiTarr A to the men! I know quite a few creatives, and oddly enough, often their own families are the most dismissive of their work! Emotionally, that positive feedback can mean more than we know.
