I used to think sharing your work was kind of a selfish thing (self-esteem related), until I realized how I learn and grow is from other people sharing their work too.
I didn’t realize that somebody else could see a thing or two in my work that would make them feel more connected or less alone.
So now I think of creative work more as a gift.
It’s selfish to keep all your gifts to yourself, especially when you have so many.
