Criticism to me
Is a double-edged sword that we must all fall to as creatives
Because if there is value to praise when you do something
Then there has to be some value to criticism
You just have to be smart with it
Analyse rather than defend
You know, while simultaneously remaining true to yourself and all that
And understanding that not everyone will get you
And for the life of me, I don't think everyone should
Not everyone has context to who you are
So staying true to your personal journey
Is imperative
You are Tobolos, you are Tobi Olowokure
You know what you've had to overcome to be where you are
You know
When you reflect that upon the world in whatever form
Let that very act be enough
You know
Because if I know you
There is no harsher critic out there than you are to yourself
