nemo enim fere saltat sobrius, nisi forte insanit.


art student (post matriculation), aspiring wordsmith, pop culture enthusiast, cat owner, obsessive mahjong player, among other things.

I have something to admit. I am really hesitant about breaking the status quo that has been established as of late. the status quo being living with my parents and working in retail. and that hesitation, my dislike of change, is prohibiting me from making art, moving forward. why am I hesitating? nothing original. I am scared. terrified that once someone gives me a chance I’ll blow it and no one will give me a second thought. I’m scared that I’m not good enough to be a real artist. I can be an art student at a small liberal art school with a very supportive team of professors surrounded by friends and people in the same situation. that is easy. this is hard.
