Jay Besemer: it’s so easy to underestimate our effects in the lives of those around us. i always do. then there are clusters of reminders that pop up, showing me that i am neither forgettable nor harmful, & what i give others sometimes takes years to be knowable—if that’s the word. i’m humbled, comforted.

You do so much good. You're a positive force and I appreciate you.

thank you! it's odd how the movement of this sort of feedback tends to come in waves, in my life. like tidal cycles or something.

It's the same for me. I wonder whether I'm making any impact, then out of nowhere, a wave of gratitude and support from people who have experienced my work. The latest came just after I did my show on Saturday.

i’m glad you’re getting that feedback & gratitude too—& not at all surprised.🫂
