This is such a beautiful meditation on creative honesty. That distinction between mistakes and imperfections really resonated with me. I’ve spent years discarding things that didn’t feel “polished,” only to later realize they were more me than the stuff I overworked. There’s something deeply moving about a song—or any art—that lets the edges show. Thanks for this reminder to see “quirks” as part of the signature, not the flaw. Looking forward to whatever shape your next chapter takes.
Glad this resonated! Exactly, it's like by polishing we're actually removing the part that shines. And I think "edges" and "signature" are really helpful terms here. Thanks for reading and for such a thoughtful comment.
