I believe that creating a sense of community and fostering a feeling of belonging within that community is essential. Especially for young artists in today's age of technological dominance and impersonal interactions, it's crucial to cultivate meaningful connections with peers. I don't suggest that you should befriend everyone, but rather form a small group of people with whom you can communicate, confide in, and support during both challenging times and everyday life. These genuine relationships and special bonds have the potential to enrich the quality of life we experience.
