I do my best to not let my art, which is what my writing is, ART, be beholden to the search for outside validation so many of us have been brainwashed by.
I doubt I'll ever get famous or rich, and am doing my best to not concern myself with that and just concern my self with doing what feels right. Which is expressing myself through writing it and sharing with no sense of competition in mind.
You just do it, you take action, you fall in love with the process. Worldly success is mostly outside our control since it's based on acceptance, and those in power are free to accept or reject as they see fit, no matter how wrong and discriminatory they are.
Gotta just create and express yourself for the love, and appreciate any validation, but not be attached to it.
