Stop doing it for them.
And start doing it for you.

Stop trying to be the person they love,
And start being the kind of person that you love, and like.

I stopped making art for other people’s entertainment,
and I started making it for my own enjoyment.

Stop doing the things you think they will like — rooted in the need for validation, inadequacy, and so on.
& Start doing what is good for you.
and so on. & Start doing what is good for you.
