Thank you Thomas Edison for inventing the light bulb.

Dear Tiff,

Fun fact: technically/maybeperhapspossibly/controversially, Edison didn’t invent the lightbulb.

First read this guy here and then read this guy here and then start to question our existence if inventions actually exist as strict definitions of ‘invention’.

Your digital paintings are amazing and I’m very happy to hear how much you feel you’ve improved in such little time. I am awed by the hard work and creativity you’ve demonstrated. Thanks for inspiring me to push through.

Lots of love,

Cherry
