we could all use a friend to throw a molotov cocktail through our window sometimes.

Hi Yotam ! Watching your birthday animations always makes me sentimental so I want to write out some rambling feelings.

We were born within days of each other (my bday is June 27) and I've watched your birthday animations every year since you started making them. We may have even picked up macromedia flash around the same time... I remember when you first posted The Bum Bum Song and the Richard Cheese animations on a stick figure flash portal back in the early 2000's and being really inspired by how much your work stood out among everything else that was posted there.

I also turned my animation hobby into a profession and deeply relate to the struggles. I dedicated myself to blindly grinding through my 20's in the industry but as soon as I turned 30, I started to realize I lost my personal connection to the craft and have trouble earnestly expressing my feelings or ideas through my art. It's something I'm trying to reclaim for myself now, although I also seek more comfort in my 30's so it's definitely a struggle xD

Anyway, I just wanted to express that I really admire how you've been able to hold onto and develop your unique creative voice for all these years, both through your music and animation. Please never stop making these !!
