Art should calm ur mind. Art is a therapy & a form of meditation. Learn how to create for YOU, even when u are creating for someone else. Don't get distracted from Arts TRUE purpose. That's what it's intended for. It should NOT BE stressful but a form of release, a healing outlet

Got denied at a job because they said I was overqualified. Very annoying. Like I'm either qualified or not. Overqualified should be still qualified, I don't get it.

You just need to start. Start sharing your art. Start talking to other artists. Start charging for your work. Start going to bed early. Start drinking more water. Start believing. Start embracing the journey. Start today, because every start holds the potential for greatness.

Doesn't matter how long you've stopped making Art, it's time to start again. It's okay that life got in the way & whatever your REASON for stopping — What matters now is that you KNOW you've outgrown that reason. Don't allow your hiatus GUILT you into staying where you are.

Tbh it was a very basic role, and what I'm getting from this is I need to stop feeling like an imposter & apply for higher paying roles. Not gonna lie my resume is 🔥 so it's only a matter of time. I've gotten onto 4 interviews so far!

You don’t have to earn your place by being useful. You’re not furniture. You’re a living, breathing miracle. Treat yourself like it.
