If you have found your way to this blog, I invite you to find your way to my other social media platforms. They are full of adventure, nature, love, sadness, hope, art, words and it doesn't even end there. I'll wear my heart out keeping it on my sleeve. I spent the evening doing a pop up shop with my handmade leather earrings. I sold a few and in my book these days selling one pair is a win, so with that being said tonight was a big WIN. I want so badly to be an artist full time. I have got to be patient with myself, my day will come and I will not give up! I have given up so many times, that's not even an option anymore. Making art makes me happy, it breaths the life back into me when the world has sucked me dry. I won't let not selling it bring me down. I say that I still feel down sometimes about it but I won't allow it to win. I'm on a mission to be an artist full time, nothing is going to stand in my way, nothing is going to stop me this time. I'm learning to disassociate myself from those feelings as they aren't permanent and I refuse to let them win. Have you ever come to a place in your life where you are like you know what I am so sick and tired of being a victim. Telling myself that my arts not good which is why I can't sell it. It's all total BULLSHIT! I'm just playing the victim, poor me. blah. blah. I know what it takes to be successful and playing the victim and saying poor me has not worked out thus far so I'm pretty positive that it's not ever going to work. I'm now telling myself that my art is worthy of purchase. I have what it takes. If you have ever been in a dark place remember, to appreciate the light we must first make peace with the dark.
