unfortunately i lack the talent to be paid to be, and i have to make things. which is clearly inferior.

I got asked a couple of times how I find the time to be creative outside of work. I find the time because it's precisely something I don't view as work, it's moments when I feel really happy about doing anything, I still wouldn't want it to be a full time thing though. The idea of full time creativity doesn't cut it with me because I am alright feeling anonymous without feeling like I am struggling artist. The friction I get from withdrawals makes me more driven and hateful of certain lifestyles.
