Making art your “job”.

Some of you artists out there are feeling a lot of stress around trying to make art your job. To be frank, you're scared to death that it won't work. And then if it didn't work, you're afraid of what people might say. And ultimately, it's leaving you not doing anything. You're literally sitting here watching TikTok videos on how to do stuff instead of taking action. How do I know this? Because it's me. Like, I've done this a bazillion times. I do this with this business. It's just human nature. I literally have to catch myself and call myself out on my bs. Just stop. Like. Like whatever other people think about you is none of your business. And whether or not you make a full time living as an artist this year says nothing about you as a person. It doesn't deplete your value in any way.
