Consider this if you compare yourself with others…

We all have reasons we don’t like something.

We think a certain creator isn’t funny or is a hack.

We think a certain writer is too basic or overhyped.

We know

What’s stupid and lame

What’s low-brow or trash

What’s fake

What’s real, authentic, and commercial.

It’s interesting how certain we are with these opinions about particular people or products.

Far less often do we stop and think,

“Oh maybe I’m just not the audience for that.”

We should become more understanding and more accepting.

Be strict with yourself and tolerant of others.

Nowhere should that idea be applied more than when it comes to taste.

Push yourself, and have strong or exacting opinions for what you consume, for what you like.

Focus on your own journey.

Leave everyone else to their own.

Unless, of course, you have a helpful suggestion or recommendation–just as others have given you.

In which case, be a good fan and provide it!

If you are just getting started, focus on your own journey.
