When I was in school, one of my art teachers used to say “this world needs more creators. There’s more than enough destroyers in the world today.”
Just a reminder, if you create anything–art, writing, food, machines, ideas, equations, knits, tools, gardens–the world needs you.
This makes me happy.
Happy creating, everyone
Honestly this is such a beautiful thing to hear. I am so used to “That’s not real work”, “That’s not a useful skill”, “What a waste of time”, “Don’t you have any hobbies or talents that are actually valuable?” and I’m sick of it. I can make people happy. I can make something where there hasn’t been anything before. I can create.
If I put a smile on only one persons face the things I do have meaning.
