I read this once. I read it twice and then one more time.

Maybe we make art for some reasons and share that art with others for a different set of reason? Just a thought. I also like how we say "share" and not "give" - we share with others while still sharing with ourselves. It is a balancing act. I am glad you want me to part of this situation. I will happily share your art with you Rach.

I'd begun writing because of my classmates and when they weren't my classmates anymore I kept telling myself 'but I'd still do it for them'. I recently realised that this was me running away from putting my art out there for people who might be critical.

It's weird that I call it 'art'. All I do is talk but the moment I do it in front of a mic, it becomes art.

I'm reconsidering if I'm calling it art just to make myself feel important.

I'm so glad you're doing this. Your writing is making me think.

So looking forward to the love that you pour into each of these. It's more like a birthday gift to all of us. ❤️

Thank you Priya. You know how much we LOVE your "art". I still think about some of the words in your poems and how they made me feel. Pls don't stop.
