I had recently had the pleasure of finally meeting a dear friend of mine - hes such a nice warm friend in person and hes genuinly a nice guy - I once was crushing on him bad but that turned more into friendship when he had a partner, just had respect for the other side.
anyway he said something special to me which stays on my mind all this time

he said dont let the artist in you die well something like that. But i felt like someone actually believes in my work and in me
It felt nice

thank you
