One of the things that I hate about being an artist, is dependency. As an up and coming artist, it is a struggle to maintain, if a single booking cancels, or if a sponsor backs out.
It is also embarrassing as everything to have swallow losing. Explaining to people that you cannot follow through on appointments, because you were left holding a bag.
There are some things I can't control. I control what I can. When I look into the mirror every day, I can see someone that hasn't given up.
My success is not predicated upon using melancholy as a tool incite pity. (that is a diss, you know who you are.)My success is predicated upon my ability to utilize, and harness the tools I have right in front of me.
I am not afraid of setbacks, there is always another path I can take to reach my goal.
