Thank you for this writing, Lauren! It's wonderful to see how you allowed your creative flowing to nourish your healing.

I watched your video joyfully last week, then was disturbed by those hater comments. It sparked below reflection that I hope can encourage you to keep authentically creating, sharing, and gracefully moving forward past the criticism.

"The hater response to “AI as Creative Partner” is based on a delusion that knowledge and creativity happens in a vacuum. The deluded have huge egos that want to believe their originality is purely independent and uninfluenced; they reject the truth that “everything is a remix”. 

For the true nature of knowledge is that it is a collective endeavor, and the most creative among us are not extraordinary because they are ordained with original gifts, but because they know how to ordinarily work hard and to be a humble vessel capable of powerfully channeling and uniquely moving the infinite collective forward."

Great read, Lauren. Thanks for your transparency always. You're not alone. I loved the quote from your friend about "criticism, and it being the critic's own B.S.!" I completely agree that it is not about MEEEEEE or YOUUUU my friend. Keep up the good work. You are an amazing, daughter, sister, friend, wife, mom, and author. YOU ARE A BOSS..

Love, Sharon
