Some days it's harder than others to feel optimistic, but I think having tools in my hands helps. And to those out there still supporting the arts in these times, we artists can't thank you enough.

The answers, I think, are 1. Because we still need art and creativity and beauty in the world, 2. Proceed with caution but don't give up hope and 3. I can't, but some will anyway.

I'll hang in there!

The one on the left is from seven years ago but if I still had that shirt I'd be wearing rn.

Thanks Laura!

It is a vibe for sure!
