>>3377532You know my dude, money making isn't the end-all-be-all of human existence, and success has many different forms. I've spent a lot of money on a lot of pipe dreams, a lot of money pissed away on other way stupider shit. The money which I perhaps once felt I wasted in retrospect was well-spent in that the experiences, the learning, and the joy I derived in those moments is untouchable by any amount of money. Money certainly can give us a level of comfort, but it does not buy happiness, and you should find resplendence in what you did obtain with it. Perhaps the body of work you accrued is unappreciated now by the masses, perhaps it will never be. Unfortunately the society we live in today has some strange values, and obsesses over vice instead of virtue. However you, and you alone decide how happy you are with the experiences you had, and I for one believe monetary gain is not to be the deciding factor in such things. Your work is great, and I hope that someday I can be even a decent artist, because I chose the opposite path. Instead of chasing my pipe dreams of being an artist, I thought it was worthless and instead worked. I have been working for 9 years now, and wish often that I had done the opposite. I have my arts, but truly believe I would be much better had I spent even 1/3 of that time practicing art instead of working. Keep pushing, godspeed, and good luck, Anonymous.
