Also, thank you everyone who has been patient and kind the past two weeks.
My world has been falling apart and I've been desperately trying to put the pieces together while still creating and keeping my composure. It's been difficult and my head has been overthinking like mad.
I don't want to make art simply for the money (though artists need food on the table too) nor am I only looking for attention, I've been frantic and desperate with a feeling at the back of my head to hurry up. Thinking that doing what's popular will get me there to take care of myself so my family doesn't have to worry about me.
But that's not good for me. And talking to everyone and getting their different opinions as artists has helped remind me of why I wanted to become an artist in the first place.
So thank you everyone for keeping me grounded in a time when my life is dramatically changing.
I'm okay now, despite all the crap.
I can't wait to just.. create.
And these emotions have also inspired me in a way. Human emotions fuel art, and we shouldn't be afraid of it.Oct 13, 2022

It can be difficult no matter what career you decide to pursue But once you get your foot through the door Itll be alright Keep your head up high, and remember what has led you to who you are and what you love to do, Never give up and what YOU want to do Dont follow popular if it makes you miserable
