When I don’t share something because it is not perfect, I am throwing away all the connections with others I could make by sharing it. Some roughness is fine. Some roughness is fine.Permalink On twitter.com

So when someone makes something from that place of wonderment and awe, I need to treat it with respect and joy. And share and delight in the work of others rather than being jealous. It’s a hard road to stay on, but I’ve met so many people through it.On twitter.com
