If your art and you being an artist gave others hope and a lifeline in a sea of despair, which you communicated with them about, would that satisfy your desire to help or is that inherently not interactive enough?
It might! I don't mind sharing my own experiences with others if it helos someone and as an artist I can't seperate my art from myself because it is an extension of who I am, and what I don't like is that some people will think that I want their sympathy which just isn't true.
