Oh my god.
Guys guys seriously guys.
I have gone my whole life making things and doing things for other people and it's true that sometimes I would wonder "hey when is it my turn." After many years I just got used to it - not in a pouty wish-it-would-happen-and-get-angry-about-it way, but in a "this is the world I live in and I will make the best of it for reals" way. It's part of my inner seme nature to just enjoy giving a whole lot, and I came to be very relaxed about it after a while.
Anyway all of a sudden someone made something beautiful for me today. I shouldn't say "for me" - it might have been for both of us for all it matters - but the point is that I was really
amazingly
moved.
All I could do for a while was stare.
Then an hour later, it happened again! What the hell. I hope I'll be able to share both works here eventually though they are still both WIP right now (and yet still astoundingly valuable to me, moreso than I can say.)
The point is that I'm really grateful. I feel so fortunate and happy, like I lucked into some magic world where people just give things to other people like it was no big deal. It's a pretty big deal to me.
I just wanted to say thank you to both artists. My day got so totally made that I will have to spread its madeness out over a few extra days.
