Please write your story. Draw the artwork. Finish the animation. Continue on whatever project you're working on. It doesn't matter if you're not good at it, or you have doubts, or you're afraid of mistakes. Your creation has a right to exist, and it will be important to others.

Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they've got ambition, and they've got talent, as well as just beauty. I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I'm so sick of it.

The illusion of you haunts our conversation. The you you purchased in the isle of insecurities and deemed worthy enough to sell off to me. The you who's love is attached to an expiration date. The you who never existed yet still managed to have a birth.
