Make something.
Just make the damn thing and post it.
Share it.
Push it out into the universe.
Will people judge it, love it, hate it, mock it, share it? With they laugh, cry, ignore, overlook, steal, copy, complain, and all too often respond in a hundred other unpredictable ways? Yeah. Of course they will. Heck, humans are messy and there is always someone out there who will make you question your very participation, let alone the product itself.
But look what is out there already. Everything! Unabashedly shared, no matter the quality or purpose. And worse:
Are influencers asking your permission to post to your feeds?
Are politicians asking for your blessing to push propaganda?
Are companies asking if its okay if they inundate you with advertising?
Of course not! No one else is asking, are they? They are making and flooding and just filling every space with their products.
Meanwhile, you are sitting there wondering if you are good enough, or if that thing that you put your whole soul into will be well-received—or if maybe you will just be laughed at by some random loser in his mom’s basement (who by the way, mocks and laughs at everything because he is incapable of making anything but mockery).
So make something. Make it great. Make it how you want. Just make and share and participate in this great creative experiment, and maybe we’ll collectively overwhelm the world with beauty and hope and curiosity instead of all those other things.
