The deeper I get into this craft, the more I’m realising how differently everyone approaches their creative journey. There’s this unspoken idea that at some point, you either focus on the art or you focus on the business - that you can’t really do both deeply at the same time.
And I don’t even know if that’s true or not. All I know is that right now, I’m trying to do both. And it’s not easy. Running a business is all-consuming - the clients, the deadlines, the constant push to grow something you care about, something you’ve built from your craft. And at the same time, there’s this other part of me that refuses to switch off. The part that wants to study more. Practice more. Get better. Go deeper. And it honestly feels like a bit of a tug of war sometimes between the hustle and the quiet.
I don’t really know where that balance lands yet. But I do know this - every time I learn something new, I realise how much more there is beneath the surface. And that feeling… is very, very humbling. It makes you realise you’re never really “done.”
And I think choosing to stay in that space- to keep being curious, to keep pushing yourself is a choice. I don’t think I’ll ever feel like I know enough. And maybe that’s the whole point. 💭✍🏼
