The harsh truth for unprofitable artists = if you feel entitled to recognition that never comes, you’re making things that look nice or technically impressive but don’t provoke EMOTION
This applies to every medium: words, images, videos, music, events, etc. Keep experimenting with ideas that make you uncomfortable instead of trying to brute force with pure volume and entitlement
I see so many insanely talented people that work hard consistently, but the jump from the McDonald’s kitchen to Valhalla is only ever bridged with humility to keep learning and trying new shit instead of stuck feeling underrated/unlucky 🧡
