Yes I dont think i expect anything from an artist either. same thing, i want them to know what their music meant to me, what impact it has had, that I understand to some degree what they were expressing, to encourage them to keep going, and to have that sense that we are all in this wild thing called life together. I really respect what sammi said about social media too. It can be so triggering to post something and get such varied comments and perspectives, and sometimes unexpected conflict. sometimes it feels safer not to share. so i feel for the sense of exposure a musician or artist may feel and the need for some self protection and boundaries. must be hard too when people reach out and there is only so much you can do. that said, we can have a big impact with a small gesture of kindness.
