• A reminder to do the work. 
• If your work lasts, the interpretation will change over time and so there is no way “perfection” to be obtained.
• Make art for now and put yourself out there, even though it is scary. Everyone is afraid.  What is more frightening, never living the life you want or having the life you want and enduring the hard work and trials that will come with it? 
• Your imperfections, quirks, and perceived weaknesses are all part of your voice and can be highlighted rather than hidden and smoothed away in an effort to make your work look like something more standard.
