I mean, I think for you, because you're my girl, I think the biggest thing I would tell you is that it's yours no matter what. And the purpose of art is to put it out there. It's not about reviews. It's not about accolades. Those are great. And they're wonderful.

yeah i tried not to like i i mean i'll say this i the only ones i really saw were positive the ones that i saw that were because it's a fucking great right the ones that i saw were were negative or could be determined as negative like perceived as negative were more so things of like people saying i already knew this The people who said, I already knew all this stuff, I was kind of like, okay.

Because they're all cis straight white people, so I'm like, doubt it, but okay. Past that, they would say things like, I thought it was going to be an insult guide.

exactly so it's like a very superficial take on my content is me as a person so i would say like not to really pay attention to that and more so to like why you did it in the first place like that's what i would focus on because i was really really nervous too about putting it out because it was so vulnerable which i know i'm sure yours is scary

yeah because it's like you're sharing something that's a piece of you it's not like it's not something that you created and it's just like well i don't care either way it's like literally you're putting it's like ripping your heart out and putting it on display people are like i don't know i don't really like it i will especially because i think so much of what we give or share is generally free exactly and so i was like if i'm asking 28 from these people it better be good mine was 28 too period girl

Yeah. Title was the shockingly the hardest thing for us to come to the middle on. OK, because I was really hard pressed on. I'd rather die alone. That's what I wanted it to be.
