#i had this post stuck in my drafts for weeks. sending a new email rn and i had to get it out

Earlier this year, almost like a new years resolution, I decided to regularily send artists I admire e-mails to tell them what I love about their creations. Getting messages from other people to me about how much my things mean to them made me realize that I need to give this back much more often, not even in ways to gain something, merely to show appreciation for the ways other people enrichen my life with their desire to create. It's mostly been smaller scale musicians so far to be honest and I deeply wish I could support them better by the ways of throwing scary amounts of money at them, but on those days where everything is an endeavour and my brain feels like a bull with burning hay tied to its horns I think of those e-mails, the twitter dms, the tumblr asks sent with nothing but appreciation for my art and it gets better
