What a wonderful short story!
In the beginning, I thought it was a real-life story, and who knows there might even be a little truth in it?
I know that it definitely touched me probably because I used to be drawing and painting my heart out since I was a little child. 'But being an artist is not a real job', right? Who hasn't heard that before? So I chose a different route that I have enjoyed, am still enjoying, but I also have regretted not sticking with art ever since.
Many years later I picked it up again and drawing and painting both traditionally and digitally has been a part of me ever since.
Now I just need to mint and sell a NFT for $500k 😁.
I didn't really experience this first hand,but I've seen a lot of people who had to toss their dreams aside, because they believe it won't make them enough money
Just keep doing what you do. You never know what will happen. There are many opportunities that you can get as an artist
Thank you for reading. It means a lot 😊
