“Make what you like and they’ll eat it how they want to or they won’t eat it at all.”

— Erykah Badu

Make what you want. They’ll either love it, hate it, or have no feelings. But you’ll have done what you wanted.

Make what moves you. They’ll either love it, hate it, or have no feelings. But you’ll have done something that made you feel how you wanted.

Make what you feel. They’ll either love it, hate it, or have no feelings. But you’ll have made something that gave you an outlet for your emotions and experiences.

People will have good things to say about it. And you should thank them, but keep your focus on your craft and how it made you feel.

People will have bad things to say about it. And you should thank them, but keep your focus on your craft and how it made you feel.

People will completely ignore it. And you should ignore them, and keep your focus on your craft and how it made you feel.

Whether you make something people think fits in or is part of a trend or not, they will still have good things, bad things, and no opinion of what you create.

So why not make something that you truly like?

Why not make something that actually means something to you?

Here’s your call to action:

Stop doing things you hate. Start making dope stuff you love.
