So true Beth. Deeply honest. You captured the undeniable quest to spin our creativity born in the daily dominant mundane, recorded in notes on a phone, into a soulful expression of life, that is life, that builds life, that connects lives. Your piece did just that for me!

I love how real this is. I read a lot about artist that are that full time. It’s all our dream but for many of us the reality is a little different. Thank you for mentioning those who are juggling multiple jobs. I feel grounded in accepting I might not have enough funds to just be an artist. This was a beautiful read

thank you so much for saying that - it's frustrating being lucky enough to know what your passions are but to be unable to pursue them. i'm so glad you liked this piece 💐
