this week's chapter on my wayfinding journey is about my years of the creative hustle, in which I tortured myself with the question: “how do I survive as a creative, and not hate myself?"
I’ll explore:
- my personal distillations of the prescribed / trailmarked paths of success — for writers, visual artists, and business owners
- how I thought something was wrong with me for not climbing those ladders (and what I realized instead)
- the illusion of safety + promise of conditional success… (that is, if you just override the self)
- why “means to an end” thinking doesn’t work for me
- how and why process is my guiding compass instead
this is about my Jump #3: from new creative entrepreneur trying to follow a 10-step plan of "shoulds"… to jumping into the void of my artist-hermit self.
