Taylor! How do you always manage to perfectly capture what's going on in my head??
This is such a great reminder honestly. I find in my corporate job I'm very good at not caring too much what other people think (but just enough to still be good at my job haha) but my personal life is different. After all, "work me" is different to "personal life me". Something to work on, for sure.
See, I actually think it's very, very important for artists who care deeply, as you describe, to detach from the opinions of others for the sake of their mental health and prosperity. It's beautiful to care so deeply, and to have emotional attunement, but we can't crumble every single time someone doesn't like what we create. It's important for us to detach so we can create our footprint in the universe and stay focused on what we build. Putting too much stock into what others' think is a waste of time. You can view your work with "detachment" when it comes to feeling personally attacked, but still love what you create. This is not a black and white process at all, in my opinion.

Every time I read something you write, it makes me never want to write again - and I mean this as the highest compliment.
It's like you plucked something out of my brain and put it on a page before I could articulate it. Love it all, keep writing ♥️.
