Also, I think we could say that our work matters because having people alive in the world who are actively pursuing their calling, even if that calling is difficult, makes the world a richer, more vital place.
I feel like this can apply to art too. "My art matters." I guess we can substitute "writing" for "art," and it would read just as true. Thank you for sharing this encouragement, Cathy.
I love this piece. But let me point out that you need to bump up that belief with a bit of fact. Your writing also matters to other people too...it feeds your well-being, it brings light and emotion into your life. And it draws in like-minded friends who also struggle to see the value in their own words (which I think is true regardless of how published or popular one might be). And your words--as in this post--are inspiring and comforting to others. ❤️❤️
