The bad stuff is part of the good stuff

If we love great art, creations, ideas, worlds, stories, products…

And part of why we love them is the humanity, the connection, the effort, the heart, the care that went into them…

And as human beings we love to see such things unfold in order to build connection and care for those things being built…

Then maybe part of what makes it resonate with people isn’t the finished piece, perfect, manicured, and ready for the world to see.

Maybe part of what makes it resonate is being invited to follow along in the journey, witnessing the ideas, the struggles, the doubt, the ideas that didn’t work.

Maybe we want to see all the bad stuff, so we can celebrate in the good stuff, too.

Perhaps that journey is precisely the thing we need in order to truly appreciate what you’re doing.

Perhaps the bad stuff is part of the good stuff.

Perhaps it’s time to be vulerable, not perfect.
