The only validation you should expect and need is self-validation.
Your work is absolutely valid and important. Your efforts are absolutely appreciated and worthwhile. But people are stuck in their own heads and work and stress and concerns and desires and validation loops and it takes actual work to break out of that to not only offer appreciation but to even realize that they need to offer it.
And for that reason, you should also really appreciate anyone that validates you.

Math like that is really simple if you take it in easy chunks.
For example, to calc your age, just take the years from birthday to 2000 (11) and add it to the years since 2000 (23). 11 + 23 = 34.
Best part is the first calc never changes - so if you remember thst number it’s just like having a 2000 birthday. Just add 11.
Gods damn it, that is greatest thing my ears have ever heard.
