Advice:
Don’t worry so much about other people’s opinions. As I have created work that has enjoyed a larger and larger audience, I’ve come to realize that I can’t become too invested in how others feel and think about the work. Though feedback is helpful, it comes down to how I feel about it and whether I can look in the mirror and honestly say that I made my best effort and that I’m growing. If I can say that, I can move on to the next thing and really look forward to it and enjoy it.
