do you ever feel like absolutely every aspect of your life is slipping out from under you but you cling to that one positive thing someone said about you or that one moment where you were proud of something bc for just a second it makes you feel like youre doing okay? 

“rae is very artistic” – Daniel Burke

“great meeting today” – Dave

those words made me feel warm today. those words made me feel secure. those words validated me in what ive been trying to prove to myself – that i am an artist and i am a leader. those words made my heart beam and my eyes light up. those words shadowed, momentarily, all of my recent fuck ups. those words saved me today. 

we should all use those words more often.
