I hate that I have to agree but I can't find any hole here, at least tied to art itself. There are holes overall tho - not everybody has time, sense or will to pick up art. Art is hard and even harder it is to feel good about your art, as grasping the ideas that you're doing art for yourself and it does not need to be perfect may be hard. I know, I tried to drag a bunch of people into it.

But I can see how art can be used to make seeing beauty in everything and honestly, good advice. Not universal, but thanks for giving me that ^^

I still think that some people simply need external validation to perceive themselves not even attractive but normal, mostly due to low self esteem and them being in a state they hate (for example, being fat). Pointing out that a lot of their attractive traits like hair, eyes, smile etc. didn't change quite often helps them start seeing it themselves.

I do not believe we should rely in external validation tho. Just that it can, and sometimes even is needed, to feel good about yourself.
