If you bemoan your lack of writing talent and nothing I say will ever talk you out of that, think of it this way:

Today, you made something. You committed a creative act. Elsewhere in the world, someone killed, persecuted, defrauded, or otherwise destroyed. They increased the quantity of evil in the world. You increased the quantity of good. Just by making something. Anything. A story. A drawing. A lavender sachet. A loaf of challah. Maybe you watered a flower. Hell, maybe you spray-painted a dick on a subway car. That dick will make somebody laugh, trust me.

Creating things keeps humanity out of the void. So don’t trash-talk that story you think isn’t as great as it could be. You helped keep us out of the void today, goddamnit.

The act of creation will be our salvation. ❤ Creation as an antidote to cynicism and despair.

You say the simplest but most profound things. Thank you.
