I think this is such a great way of having compassion for ourselves. When I think of little Emiliy - I picture a child and want to share encouragement and love with her. I know she'd be loving what I am creating now - even the things that are a mit meh for big Emily.

I think the whole reason I’m an illustrator is to impress little me, and maybe also to keep a promise to him.

I really enjoyed reading through this post, Adam! First of all, the title of the paragraph "Little you" is just so adorable. I've also been thinking along these lines: If I met myself as a kid, would that kid think I'm cool? Doing a great job at being awesome? Want to grow up into someone like me? It really does make you feel good to see yourself through little you!

Yeah, kids have more perspective sometimes about what’s important in life!
