Thinking about our young people..

I’m realizing that part of the responsibility of those of us that are older, is to help out younger folks to understand that it’s ok to emote.

Remember this…

They were just in isolation

They’re locked into social media which affords one to project a reality vs. live it.

Many haven’t had human contact consistently outside of their immediate families.

Their entire perception of what it means to create in real time, and with others… was paused at a moment that is crucial in their development.

So…

Educators and anyone that works with young people..

They need to see you cry…

They need to see you express joy!

They need to know that it’s ok to be vulnerable!!

THIS is where the deeper Art lies!

When the notes aren’t enough… your rawest humanity is there to bring the seasoning of a stale life!

Let’s express with the greatest intention!!

So that the young people that are watching us can know that it’s ok to do the same!
