i do believe there is no such thing as failing when you believe in and love what you are actually doing. even though i would very much welcome the idea of living of my creative work entirely, and it is the main aim i am striving for, it is not said that this is my only option, for i can see myself in other fields (which at the same time happen to be all art related in one way or the other), but i am not enclosing myself by saying, not living of the art i create is a failure. as long as i am able to indulge in creative processes, deal with the artistic attitudes of others, question and learn, i am more than fulfilled — i see it as a journey.
