I love all your posts but this one particularly appealed to me. I can relate to everything you said here my god I thought I am not the only one who feels and acts like this. My only saving grace is thank god I do not have to make a living from my art. I can make my stuff just to please myself and not care if anyone likes it, I create just to make me happy and I belong to SAQA so I do get to show my stuff to my little pod . I never enter any competitions, too demanding and overwhelming. Great post made me think quite a lot Thank you so much.

You're very welcome! For what it's worth, your 'stuff' is rather good 😉...
Thank you also for your pledge - I really appreciate that, and glad you enjoy reading my musings!
Such a great read Izzy! This spoke to me - "Maybe that’s a lesson in itself: let go of intention; just create and see what emerges. Hmph." :)
Such a hard lesson but that’s my biggest takeaway from this train of thought, too!
