Understand that your art is a journey of self-actualization. To create art, you have to blend your own personality, experiences, and curiosities to make something uniquely yours. To do this, you expose yourself to discomfort. You will have to live outside of the template that others try to set for you. You may fear judgment, or you may just simply find yourself procrastinating without even knowing that you’re avoiding getting started. Your ego is there, distorting your thoughts to protect you from this discomfort.
