The struggle of being an artist

When people say I have to be grateful and happy, because of the work I do. Grateful because I can make a living out of it. And yes. I am grateful, but sometimes I am living in a lonely world. 

While other people are going to their job living the 9 to 5 life.. I am in my studio creating art. Alone. I have nobody to talk to in my 15 min breaks or just saying hi to people. 

Sometimes I wish I had more people around me. Even though that sounds very weird in my head because of my personality type. Introvert all the way but at the same time feeling sad because there is no one around me. 

I know how it feels to work for a boss and living the 9 to 5 life and that’s exactly why “this” (what I do now) had to work. I can’t work for a boss, I am not build that way. But sometimes it would be nice not having the pressure to create new art. 

After all,, when I look at my life it is the best life I can imagine.

Always feeling the pressure to create new art can be a bit difficult sometimes. Definitely because you don’t have the best inspiration every day. Most of the time it takes a while when the inspiration comes back. 

When I talk to people about starting for themselves, this is the reason they don’t get started, because they are afraid they can’t pay their bills etc.. 

Sometimes you need to take risk to live your life how you want to live. 

So to all the artist and people that still wanna start working for themselves (it does not matter in what kind of branche…) You can do it! Take the risk.
