All of my life I wanted to succeed with my art. I wanted to be successful. I wanted to have a career over something I loved. When I was with my abusive ex he would always tell me I would never be anything. I would never succeed at anything and I would forever be useless. For a long, I have believed that. For a long time, nothing would succeed.
I did Deviant Art and received two daily deviation awards but nothing came out of it... well maybe not nothing. If anything I did learn these amazing skills I have today. I have worked so hard to do better each piece and I wouldn't have gotten here without it.
Later on, I ran a fashion magazine. It never was successful as a career either but I learned a lot. All the money went to charity proceeds and I tried to later use it as a vehicle to help people. So I guess you could say I am successful in those terms.
Now I am here in the land of NFT. I am hoping one day I can make this career. Full fill a dream and succeed and let the inner demons die with their wicked ways of telling me I am useless and I will never succumb to anything. I am strong and I will keep trying and creating because it's what I love to do.
