" We all need to be seen, appreciated, encouraged, validated, listened to. And whether or not we've been lucky enough to get that from other people when we needed it, we can be that person for others, which in a way allows us to be that person we needed for ourselves. When we share our time and creativity, our life and story become entwined with the lives and the stories we touch. "

― Claire Cook , Life Glows On: Reconnecting With Your Creativity to Make the Rest of Your Life the Best of Your Life (It's Never Too Late to Shine On)
