Without struggle, there can be no art.
You cannot appreciate joy, without pain.
And you cannot persevere if there is nothing to overcome.
The fact of the matter is, wherever you find yourself, that is exactly where you need to be right now, in order to shape you become later.
We may not like it.
It won’t be comfortable.
But if you push through, your art will be shaped and created through the lens of your world.
What you’ve gone through, what you’ve fought to achieve, nobody else can see it the way that you do.
Use it.
If what you were trying to do were easy, some other schmuck would have already done it.
Then what would you be doing?
Get to it.
I’m not going to provide a distraction for you beyond this point today
