What makes it more confusing is that running a business and making art are two separate things, but when we fusion them together by making a living of our art, things get blurry and blend together. I've noticed how much my writing has become "practical" and lost in poetry, and my wish is to know and separare when I am making purely artistic/creative work and when I am writing or creating for my business. Some might argue you can make both the same, but I find it healthy to separate them for now, so instead of behind half in each, we can pour ourselves fully into the different forms of expression.
Oh Gabi, thank you for such a beautiful reflection. Yes, I do believe separating these can be really great. I started experimenting with that and it brings me great ease, a sense of unburdening that can only happen when we allow our creative selves full freedom: no expectation or pressure, but desire for something interesting for ourselves.
I can resonate so much dear!
