Disney created one of the most beautiful films, "Coco". There's a truth that runs through the entire story: we live on in the memories of those who recognize us.

Not because of fame, not because of greatness, but because of that simple, human gesture of saying, “I see you. I value you. I haven't forgotten you.”

Something very similar happens at TYSM.

Every time someone gives a tip—a tysm—they are doing just that, remembering. Remembering the effort, the talent, the idea, the moment the other person shared.

A tysm isn't just a token that's sent. It's a light that shines on someone and tells them,

• “Your art matters.”

• “Your voice matters.”

• “Your story matters.”

• “Your reality matters.”

• “You matter.”

Like in Coco, where bridges between worlds are built with sincere memories, at TYSM, bridges between people are built with gratitude.

Each TYSM is a digital marigold flower. Small, bright, powerful. A sign that marks the path for the other to keep creating, keep appearing, keep being part of it.

Because a community isn't sustained by quantity, but by connection. And connection is nurtured by small acts of recognition that open doors, strengthen bonds, and make someone on the other side feel they're not walking alone.

Giving TYSM is saying: "I'm here, and what you did reached me."

And when gratitude becomes a culture, as in TYSM, the bridge never falls.

There's always someone crossing. There's always someone waiting on the other side.
