To Every Artist Who's Ever Doubted Their Worth:

Your art isn't just paint on canvas or words on a page. It's the spark that lights up someone's darkest day. It's the song that makes a stranger cry in their car, finally feeling understood. It's the story that keeps a kid reading under their covers with a flashlight, lost in worlds you built with nothing but imagination. Maybe you think no one sees your work. Maybe you wonder if any of it matters. But somewhere out there, someone is standing in front of your painting, letting it wash over them like warm rain. Someone is holding your photograph close, seeing beauty in places they'd forgotten to look. Someone is reading your words over and over, thinking "Yes, that's exactly how it feels." Keep making your art. Keep pouring your heart into late-night sketches and early-morning drafts. Keep chasing that perfect line, that ideal frame, that exact shade of blue that's been haunting your dreams. Because your art? It's a lifeline. A whisper of hope. A reminder that we're all a little less alone in this vast, beautiful mess of a world. Create fearlessly. Create often. Create like someone out there is waiting for exactly what only you can make.

Because they are.
