What am I an expert in? What can I become an expert in?
Recent a-ha moment: I’m an expert at being myself. I’ve spent so much time searching for my “thing”, my craft to master. After all writers having writing, artists have drawing and painting, musicians have songwriting and learning their instrument - what do I have? I have me, my own unique blend of things. A Being to explore.
Maybe I don’t have one craft to master this time around. Maybe I just need to express me as authentically and unhindered as possible.
“In a world where you are constantly asked to be ‘committed,’ it is liberating to give yourself the license to be a dilettante. Commit to nothing. Try everything.”

Not being caught up and controlled by trends, political narratives, hunger, momentary pain, other peoples' opinions, comfort.
The more you are controlled, the less autonomy you own.
The less autonomy, the less fulfilment.

What artists NEED to do is work on their craft, build a body of work, and show that work to people. And there are better options for showing your work than social media. Having a website is a good start. Doing PR and having an email list is even better.
