What Else Should I Be, All Apologies...
Santa Ana
I must remind myself to stop asking people's opinions. I should just do what I want and stand back and let people say what they will. Because every time I am excited and I ask what someone thinks- I am sorely disappointed and hurt. I create this exchange- and I want to stop it now. I will not ask permission to create. I will simply create from my being and then stand by it like "Hell yeah I made that and don't you wish you knew what was in my head when I did." I will surround my work with a shroud of mystery and only answer questions for a chosen few. Cause when someone says something negative, I take it to heart. I can't separate my art from me- that is me and I am it. So it seems that I should guard it accordingly. Hold onto it a little tighter but not too much so that it can't breathe. But just right...

Hell yeah! don't let the negativity hold you down, girl!
Be mysterious... i love that you said "a shroud of mystery"!
love your art and you...
I DO always wonder what is going on in the artist's head! I DO try to look at things from different perspectives and sometimes when I hear what the artiest says - "ah, yes, ... I see that" - that's so cool when that happens! Create away, mita! Don't ask anyone what they think - just know you are being true to your self.
