These are good! One life lesson I’ve learned is that not everyone will support you and that’s okay. I know plenty of people who love and want me to succeed but has never read a thing I’ve written. In the beginning you’re happy about putting your work into the world and it’s easy to become discouraged when you don’t receive the support you’re looking for from loved ones. But part of being an artist of any kind is finding the people who need and will support your work.
Absolutely. We definitely have to get used to cheering for ourselves because everyone won't support us. My family has been super supportive when I was a freelance makeup artist and a fashion reseller, but as an painter I'm not sure. Maybe they can't relate or it's not their thing. I tried to have casual conversations with them about my art happenings but when I sense no one wants to talk to me about it, I just leave it alone. Having conversations with other artists helps me get through that.
I concur with all of your points except the first one. As an introvert, I don't have to talk, but that's just me, as you know. Anyway, I apply every life lesson as often as necessary, which is every day. From reading people as an Empath to being the aforementioned introvert, I've never met an uncomfortable silence. It's all comforting to me. But the main one is a byproduct of overcoming neglect: knowing my self-worth and what I stand for allows me to ignore hate, which is second nature to me. And as I told you, my friend, if they keep messing with me, I will make a piece about it – them, whoever. Protect your peace, fellow creatives!
Of course! We talk when we feel like we're ready to talk. I'm more than ok with sitting in silence but I've had conversations with people that are so bothered by that. Well I can't do anything about that. I can see you having a whole series about the people that keep testing you.😄💙
