This reminds me of an article I read recently about becoming rich in confidence by creating an 'alter ego' of yourself: https://thequietrich.beehiiv.com/p/rich-confidence . Mine is 'the experimental and prolific artist' (or at least something along those lines - I'm definitely working on it!).
Well said. The inherited cultural baggage of “being an artist” is a heavy, layered burden. It’s only those who are able to unlearn it that can embrace the simplicity of being an artist.
I'll start every day by saying "I'm an artist" in the mirror from now on thanks to this. Something I used to do once in a while but stopped because of all the same baggage.
