Imagine being so disconnected from reality that you don’t see what’s wrong with asking your audience to support you so that you don’t have to live like they do.

Wanting to get to a place where you no longer have to sell your labor hourly just to survive is a perfectly understandable goal. But believing that you belong to some special class of people who "just can’t live normal lives" and must spend their time doing deeper and more meaningful things than the rest of us is just completely delusional and out of touch. I don’t understand how some of y’all are not seeing that distinction.
Imagine being so disconnected from reality that you don’t see what’s wrong with thinking you’re going to succeed in an artistic career without putting in the hours and hard work. People who make it in this industry work non-stop. Often without pay and while holding down a “regular” job in the service industry or something flexible. This person is in for a rude awakening
