My work is the one aspect in my life for which I have infinite patience, infinite excitement, infinite curiosity... infinite everything. In this area of my life, I feel powerful and whole.
This is not to say that I have no fear. Every day that I'm in my studio, making the things that I envision in my head, I face the questions that scare me: why am I making these things? Where should I look for my customers? Will I be able to support myself with the work of my hands? Am I good enough?
But here's the thing: if there's no fear to face, no change to embrace, where's the challenge? What's the point? I promised myself a long time ago that I am going to be the hero in my own life. And the absolute truth is that I'm happiest when I'm learning things, and by choosing this path of "artist" and "entrepreneur," I have infinite opportunities to learn and grow. If I flop, it's on me. If I succeed, it's on me.
My destiny is in my own hands... I'm in love with what I do.
