Almost everything you can do as an occupation later turns out to have been completely useless, you have only kept yourself alive. What is the value of 'things', 'ART',
Just live your life.

I love your videos, they are astute and rather brilliant….great insights and crisp with truth…..I’m an artist I’m 63 and I recognise the insights and see your points

I appreciate your video but the beginning triggered me. You've gained so much knowledge from your experience on earth. Nothings wasted unless you believe it's wasted. Thanks for sharing your perspective!!

Your story is so relatable! I might even go as far as to say that all those bullshit experiences give us the opportunity for acquiring wisdom which we can then pass on.

So are they such a waste of time then? Or can they be actually useful? Would you be the man you are today if you didn't go through all you went through or would you be less damaged and more productive? That is what I ask myself anyway; what I can observe in society is that the most productive people just didn't experience life with all this succulent cruelty so they ended up sort of one dimensional. Pain crafts us.

That being said I completely agree with your thoughts on procrastination and think that can be a period in one's life after which you must get yourself together and start doing something productive with yourself, expressing your soul's desire and fulfilling your purpose. Even the process of it is the goal, because for creatives I think the hardest thing is to start and stay on the right track. If we manage to do that, I believe the results will come at some point.

Too many good people have lost years to others with narcissistic traits, some get out in their sixties and seventies.

I had completely the same mindset at that age and exactly the same imaginary time clock that reach it's end on precise the age of 30.
For a couple of years in my 30s I started doing something else and gave up on my old dreams, nevertheless the past always find it's way back.
And yet again I'm pursuing that same dream. only this time it's not a dream anymore it's decision a life choice with not time restrictions attached to it.

I was disappointed at myself at 30 too...that art and fear book is good. I too feel like I should have been successful by 30.

If this gig was easy...more people would've stuck with it. Art is a marathon not a sprint 😂❤🖌🎨

Thank you for sharing this. This made me rethink a few things. I would like to know more about why you think solo exhibitions are a waste of time

[AbbeysArtPrints]
