So today is more or less I guess quote day Tuesdays will be quote day and honestly I’ll probably just bring quotes in every time I find something that is either revealing upon just what I see what I obtain and how I observe or the likes of just what it is to be I guess what we are human.
This one is one that I’ve definitely written down more times than once again from a stoic there is something I appreciate about the accountability of being aware that at some point our decisions will come to an end our lives will be done and what decisions and steps and actions we make from birth to that end not only sets us either within Grace or far far from it.
“We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.” –Seneca
Now if you would, like I do on most days, really when I read anything, I ponder, I let my brain try to absolve within the words that I’ve collected and not insert myself into that quote directly, but take from it into my own perspective, my own actions, and how often I complain.
But ask yourself do you complain are you like so many others kind of matching that quote? I know I am, and I’d gladly and willingly take accountability to that. I b**** and moan about difficulties with nfts the dichotomy of Art and digital art and how, though they’re so much the same, there is such a sensitive divide between those that take action with their own hands through both angles or through just one and then the way they spit on one another. And yet they’re both art and the art that is stemming from whether it’s their own or what they saw or what they remembered and how they were raised. It’s another argument that has to do with free will is it actually their creation or is it a creation from an idea that they saw from Van Gogh, Hussar or O’Keeffe? What takes away the originality and Independence of creating art when it’s all art? Whether it’s digital, whether it’s physical, whether it’s a painting. It’s something using Adobe and a bunch of other things that are all using a computer system and coding but oh wait I’m doing the same thing with my brain aren’t I? We are using a computer within and outside of ourselves, how is there truly, how is there a difference or is the ego jumping into the way of that argument, know what I mean?
So I asked this question because I have just been Grace with the opportunity to make good amounts of money to the point where if I do it right I can legitimately pull myself out of the working 9:00 to 5:00 type of job. All to have the freedom to provide for myself, for my family, and be present with my son every day while also doing school, getting to make art, and write.
So the question is was this though I’m pretty sure there’s a lot of questions in this day nine. Do I take the jump? Do I take the risk and take the chance?
I’ve asked two people make that three however the third I have yet to get a response one tells me to be cautious the other one tells me they know very little and wish me luck while the other is an artist and I feel I’m not getting an answer because well maybe the reason is sensitive or maybe the fact that it’s my sister who is also an artist doesn’t want me to know those steps without being involved. I don’t know I don’t know the questions there and I’m kind of at a ‘Hit or Miss by Odetta thinking.
Signing out thinking about taking the jump making my first minting of something I truly created by myself and truly enjoyed and loved and thinking about making the opportunity of changing my life. I don’t know this is day 9 this is day 9 of a new year of change and the rest of my life what should I do?
Goodnight and Good morning.
