At the end of the day I want to be around like minded people that push me to work harder and succeed. I already have a bunch of friends to call up to play games or drink, but art is my passion and I take it very seriously. When I talk to unmotivated artists who don't work as hard as I do, it takes away some of my own enthusiasm as well and those conversations don't make me very happy.

I think everyone should do what is right for them to seek out happiness, but sometimes what you have to go against the established social norms. I think too often we gauge others on our own metrics of what it means to be happy and create well intentioned catastrophies. Other times we just want to find some differences in others that allows us to resent them and therefore ignore a new perspective of pursuing happiness that might make us question our own.

I ask myself, what brings me fulfillment? One of those things is art. Then I ask, am I fulfilled by my art? And I think no, if only that line was better, if only I knew more about that object, if only I drew more, and these thoughts keep me going. I want to improve myself, learn continuously, and draw a lot, but not every artist feels that way.

I just find it hard to relate to those artists.
