I don't like it when people hurt other people. And maybe I'm wrong about this, but artists are even more susceptible to hurt. We put ourselves out there with our art, and we hope it is appreciated. We hope others like what we do. We hope we don't get hurt.
A friend of mine, my director, got hurt today. Though I've never done it before, I hugged her and I felt her relief in just knowing she was appreciated. She leaned into me for just a moment. I think up until the hug, she had those nagging doubts that she had done something wrong, that she had somehow deserved the hurt others were giving her. I wanted to defend her. I didn't. I only supported her.
Why does it all have to be a competition? It's all amorphous right now and I don't like it. Give peace a chance, peeps.
