i was editing sculpture photos earlier, and i was wondering why. why i was bothering. the world is burning, people and animals and trees are dying, we're all trying not to drown in despair. why am i making sculptures and bothering to make sure their photos are accurate and why do i care?

and then i realised that it's the caring that makes us human. it's the creating and the trying to make the world better and more beautiful that will save what's left, if anything will. and they're what will save us too.

so to all of you, i just want to say please keep doing what you're doing. please keep making things and trying and putting whatever it is that makes you you into the world. we all need it. and we all need you.

@moonrabbit When I was in mental health crisis recently, it was my music, specifically the project I was working on for @musicweeklies, that helped keep me going. I wanted to finish it, adding the bits that randomly came to me while I had nothing better to do than come up with stuff.

@Tarrenvane ooh yes this is such a valid point. the desire to create and complete can be such a powerful motivator to get us through things and just keep us going.

i hope you're feeling better 

@moonrabbit Yeah, I am. Still kind of tired out, but a lot better than I was.
