Being an artist in any form is hard enough; which is why having a supportive community is invaluable.

When we as artists come together to support one another, it fosters creativity, belonging, and a positive environment we can feel safe in which to both succeed and (keeping it honest) fail.

In my opinion, failing is learning. We grow through failure. Is it discouraging, absolutely, yet when you have a friend to lift you up and encourage you to keep going then our failures become successes.
