"You're so talented" is my least favorite compliment you can say to an artist. It's ambiguous at best and devalues years of practice at worst. #petpeeve

In fact, I dislike the word and concept of talent in general. It closes doors to people who could have enjoyed an activity, but think it's off limits to them. It breeds segregation of creative people and elitism among them. It gives power to something that shouldn't have it.

I wish people would realize anyone is allowed to practice and enjoy any skill they desire. You're not too old, you're not the wrong gender, and you definitely weren't born in some way that you should let anyone limit your potential. It's your choice and your choice only.

Always thought the notion of "talent" was mostly fiction, kind of like saying someone is "abled" or "disabled" as if this means they are automatically qualified or disqualified from something
