Sometimes I still get comments on or asking about my old fics. And I do mean my old-old fics, like, “rare!pair Harry Potter fic I wrote when I was 16” old.
And it has made me realise that anything you create, no matter how niche or low quality, has a chance to touch another person positively.
Like, I can say a lot of derogatory shit about my teenage writing, but… I think from now on I’m gonna remember that fic as “the one that got someone to track me down on another platform just to compliment me on it”.
So you know, that thing you made and didn’t think good enough? That fic you think about deleting, that art you think is kinda shit? For all you know, there is someone out there right now who absolutely loves it, who is being inspired by it, who wishes there was more of it.
Anything you make can touch someone positively.
