Grieving a stranger.

A week or so ago, an artist I've been following for quite a while passed away.
We all knew that she wasn't doing well, due to her recent cancer diagnosis, but the doctor gave her at least a full year left, so it was really shocking to discover that she had died.
It reminded me that during all these years, I never took time to tell her that I appreciated her work. Probably because I thought she already had a lot of people telling her (which is probably true, with her 2+ millions followers).
But first, we never receive enough kind words.
And second, what if everybody else thought the same.
We currently live in a world where most artists have to create (a lot of) free content in order to be seen and paid for their work. The least we can do is tell her that we appreciate their effort and work, I think.
I am not writing this post to tell you to validate me more!! I am writing it to tell myself to be kinder to my fellow artists, because they fucking deserve an extra boost!
Have a great day!
PS: the artist was @qinniart
