We need friends as creative people.
Friends who are on a similar path and understand what we’re going through.
Friends to bounce ideas off of or to get a gut check from.
One or two is enough. It doesn’t have to be everyone.
Reach out to fellow creatives on social media – Twitter or wherever.
Not every interaction will turn you into besties but you might be surprised at who you connect with.
Going to events like Eroticon can help cement those friendships.
You won’t always agree with your friends, but you should feel free to express yourself.
Sometimes your friend will give you the courage to do something brave or will encourage you not to do something stupid.
