I Wonder If Real Art Comes When

Competition Validates You. It Creates A Category. It Permits The Sale To Be This Or That, Not Yes Or No.

Fundamentalist Is A Person Who Considers Whether A Fact Is Acceptable To Their Faith Before They Explore It. As Opposed To A Curious Person Who Explores First And Then Considers Whether Or Not They Want To Accept The Ramifications.

Sooner Or Later, The Ones Who Told You That This Isn't The Way It's Done, The Ones Who Found Time To Sneer, They Will Find Someone Else To Hassle. Sooner Or Later, They Stop Pointing Out How Much Hubris You've Got, How You're Not Entitled To Make A New Thing, How You Will Certainly Come To Regret Your Choices. Sooner Or Later, Your Work Speaks For Itself. Outlasting The Critics Feels Like It Will Take A Very Long Time, But You're More Patient Than They Are.

There Are Always Limits, And Opportunities. The Ones We Rehearse And Focus On Are The Ones That Shape Our Future.

It's Time To Stop Complying With The System And Draw Your Own Map. Stop Settling For What's Good Enough And Start Creating Art That Matters.
