It’s time to run as fast as I can.

Most of my life has led up to this moment. I have told myself countless times that I am not good enough to release my work to the world and join the online creative community. I used skilling up as an excuse to avoid being vulnerable and moving forward in my creative career.

Everything has changed now. This is my job. My full time gig. My lively-hood. I am excited and overjoyed, but also afraid. So much rides on whether I sink or swim.

I still ask myself if the timing is right. Now with the advent of artists being scraped and their life’s work chewed up and spat back out and the industrialization of the one sector of humanity that should have been immune to automation.

Maybe this is the worst time in human history to be a new professional artist. However, I can’t afford to see it that way. Creating things lights my soul on fire, makes my belly sing, and my heart swell. It’s my very nature!

So I am going to run. I am going to run as hard and as fast as I can towards what resonates the hardest. I am exploring new horizons in a world where everything is thought to have been done already! I openly share my passion even though I know it can be stolen and regurgitated! I paint my heart out because I must!
