@Thayer@mastodon.social I save a folder full of compliments, on the advice of someone a while back. They said to look at it when I’m feeling less than. So smart. The owner of the publication where I worked in my first real design job gave me a letter of recommendation when we moved away. He called me “an exceptionally talented autodidact.” I didn’t even know what that meant, so I looked it up. Man, it felt good to include that letter when I was applying for jobs. Second one, because it was as funny as it was lovely. When I was 18 my girlfriend’s parents wanted to hear my band’s record that we just released. It was playing in their car and she asked “how many drummers are playing on this?” I told her it was just me. She said “it sounds like three of you.” Okay, your turn… @PhoenixSerenity@beige.party
