But your contribution to the world includes a HUGE legacy of beauty which includes all of the artworks that you've gifted to friends and family (we have at least 2 of your works on our walls, and a bunch of other fragments of your genius elsewhere), which we deeply love and appreciate ( ... )

But thank you so much for your encouragement, I keep comparing myself to the success of my peers/siblings and I suppose it's not the best way of going about it.
