Is anything really pointless? To say something is seems to be taking the easy way out

It comes down to something I said on LJ a few days ago. One has to decide who they're doing something for and how much outside validation they need to feel good about it. If you're doing it for yourself and you're happy with it, that's good enough. Being an artist of any kind, whether you work in words or graphics or music, you do need to either feel it's good enough for yourself and fuck everyone else, or you admit you need some validation.

Have at it.
