It's all about connecting with others, is it not?
"Draw for yourself" is such bullshit.
Do actors act for themselves ?? No, they act for the applause. The validation. The encouragement. The feeling that they're doing a good job. The thrill of performing to people.
So why do artists get shoved in the box of not deserving validation ??
"Draw for yourself" is a terrible excuse. "Draw for yourself" indicates unwillingness to support an artist. "Draw for yourself" because I, saying this to an artist, am too lazy to boost their creations.
"Be okay creating for nothing". No. Entire capitalistic systems are beginning to collapse because people don't like doing shit for no reason. It's not even like anyone's demanding money ; just a pat on the head & a reblog here & there.
"Draw for yourself".
Why ??
Why not, instead ; "show your true colors, & we will appreciate them".

self-improvement should be because you want to improve your quality of life, not because you feel or think you *need* to be better in order to be loved or allowed to live. there's no end goal with self-improvement, it's easy to dig yourself a grave when you don't realize that you're not on a ticking clock to be the 'best version of yourself'. all you need to strive to do is be the version of yourself you are the most happy with. find out what values you find important, what kind of friend do you want to be, how do you want to react to things. what are things that would improve the way you go about life? what would make life easier, better and more enjoyable for you?

"Do not ask to find here a statement or a theory. Pay attention only to the internal story of a sincere life, a long life, fecund in happy and sad moments, not without contradictions. A life full of illusions, but that is always trying , not reaching the unapproachable truth, to reach the harmony of the spirit, which is our ultimate truth."
Romain Rolland's note for his book "An enchanted soul" August 1922
