Today's Trivia:
Q: What is the highest grossing film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Art doesn’t just entertain. It helps us face our demons, find each other, and keep going.
There’s a particular kind of beauty in what we do as artists. I was reminded of it after watching the new Bruce Springsteen film—really, a story inspired by his life. It captures a charged moment in his journey, trying to make an album while running from his demons. It’s a vivid slice of a troubled artist’s mind.
When great musicians leave behind a body of work that moves so many of us, and then a filmmaker tells their story, we get to see ourselves in it. That can be healing—not just for the artist, but for all of us. If you’ve ever struggled to make your art, I want to say: it’s worth it. It’s worth it to make something beautiful that speaks. In times like these, art cuts through the noise. Art is for everyone.
Many of us know those tortured, luminous souls. Maybe you are one. I hope we can all keep creating, find some peace, and take care of our health along the way. Springsteen grappled with depression, and I keep thinking about how art can be a vessel for our mental illnesses and our demons—a way to name them, shape them, and let them go. Sometimes when we write a story about ourselves, we’re really writing our way through what haunts us. That can be profoundly cathartic.
So I hope you find a great movie to watch this weekend. I loved the Springsteen film, but maybe something else will meet you right where you are. Lose yourself in the artistry, the music, the craft. Remember how beautiful it is to make art and to witness it. Tap into something that moves you, and let it carry you toward whatever you’re meant to create next.
