I'm reminded of a very passionate post I once saw about how tiktok dances have made some people afraid to dance because they aren't as good as people who literally live in dance training camps to factory -produce dance videos. Anyway, the plea was to just ignore that and dance! People largely have an innate desire to move when they hear music, and its OK to just vibe with it.
The internet has got people thinking that everything they make must be step 1 of their plan to monetize that thing and release it for global consumption. Write stories for yourself, letter for friends, and poems for no one! Dance no matter who is looking. Make art everywhere. And for goodness' sake, play table top games with friends, make up stories, and let yourself get wildly obcessed about it! It's yours! It's ok to just love the story your friends are telling and to talk about with people, and you don't even have to lament that your friend group isn't charming enough to carry the podcast of your game.
