The internet is a curious thing, no?
I've been blogging long enough to have seen a few trends come and go, and I know this: there are those that can stand the heat in the kitchen so to speak, and there are those that cannot.
My girl wrote an amazing piece this week, (go read it), and I've been thinking about these words ever since.
...stop watching me shine mine.
What Bella said is straight up. We all have our own path and we can choose to shine our light and have its glow be enough, or it isn't.
I'm good with where I am and where I'm going. I share my work and life sometimes, and then I don't. I have good weeks, productive weeks, and then I'll sink into a bit of despair. It's how its been for the past few years, and in January I decided to stop fighting it.
I've finally learned to become comfortable with those uncomfortable moments that occur, because I know that eventually it will pass. Even when time passes abysmally slow and it seems like I'll be stagnant forever.
I like the internet. I think there are times that it's a sink hole and hours will pass and I have to catch myself from twisting down.
Even so, amazing things have happened because of the world wide web. Really great people,(Bella included), have come into my life because of it, and for that I won't scoff.
I don't compare myself to others so much anymore because at the end of the day, comparing oneself is very subjective. We all have our opinions, what we like and what we don't. Even "the experts", the curators and gallerists, the people in the know, know what they like and don't, they've just learned, (hopefully), to also be objective.
I've never been able to figure out what's on trend, (especially when it comes to art), and the times that I've spent trying to fit in, well, that's the real time that's been lost.
