I have been working way too much! I work construction to pay the bills, Its an ok job but I find it extremely unstimulating. I have studied and done art for years and when I immerse myself in it I feel complete and at peace with myself. for the past two years I haven't done much with art and I am starting to loose my feeling of perpose.Part of my dilemma
is that when I was in Colorado all my art was stolen out of storage; paintings, sculptures, sketchbooks, and my portfolio that I had spent years assembling. The fuckers even took drawings I did as a kid. I just don't understand there motivation other stuff was stolen but most of what I had was art. So now I need to start fresh, I just have to remember why I do it. Is it for recognition or is it a part of finding meaning in my life? I know what the answer should be but I am not always sure, It has served me well for both in the past.I guess it is important to remember my worth is not found in my art. I just needed to get that off my chest. Thanks and have a good day

When I write, it feels so good, but, sometimes I question my motivations. Do I need recognition and acceptance from others? Do I just want the money that could come from it? Or, what I'd like to think was true, do I just need the feeling of fulfillment that comes from doing it and accomplishment from finishing?
