    I can only imagine how hard it would be to be an artist at times! Owning a small business today is so hard, I live in a small town and my family owns a small business and it is so hard to compete with corporate. I mimic others when I say that painting behind you is absolutely gorgeous! I envy artists because I don't have an artistic bone in my body other than home decoration, lol.
    Also, the fact that you cry for other people just shows you have a huge empathic heart 💕

    Great video, Xizhou! I enjoyed your Ted Talk! 😅 My plan is to participate in S&S and Teddy Bees preorders and that’s it for the year. And also, not to buy any loaves.
    I think all small businesses have ups and downs. I hope that you see an uptick in business soon! Your work is beautiful!
