I’ve been at it my whole life. Still delusional but much more cautious at this stage with more responsibilities to shoulder and people to care for. But, yea I would still love to do it full time if at all possible. I think though it might be harder to do if I have to treat it as a business and I’m dependent on monetary outcomes which was the original approach. I do think the art is better when the outcomes don’t matter. In fact I watched the, “Arnold” documentary recently and he admitted that was an advantage for him when he committed to acting. He was already a millionaire which allowed him to pick and choose the parts he wanted without having to settle. They’re a lot of high paying careers that have built in flexibility for art 🖼️! Thanks for sharing!
I'm definitely stuck in a weird place of being fully committed to doing it full time and also feeling very limited by that. Interesting thing about the Arnold doc!
I know when it’s such a part of you, the thought of it as a side project is gut wrenching. Believe me, I still feel like a square peg in a round hole. I spent my whole upbringing and sacrificed my social life pursuing a career in music. The second act was and is excruciating but I’m learning gratefulness in the midst of all. God’s plan. 🙏🏾

This is very relatable. I'm constantly driven by my own (possibly) delusional hope and imagination hahah. Goodness.
I think it's quite possibly the only way to keep going.
