War and Peas 🧿Aug 23, 2025
Having 1 million followers is like throwing confetti into a hurricane: people cheer, platforms profit, and you're left sweeping your own glitter off the floor. Everyone loves the art, shares it, while we're over here perfecting the art of checking our bank balance with one eye closed.

Art... 😮‍💨

It really doesn't bring you respect or money. You basically have to be Rembrandt to earn anything. People stop listening to you when you tell them what you do. People assume your lying or exaggerating your ability. People think they know how to do what you have laboriously trained yourself to do, and frequently downplay the amount of knowledge that goes into art of any kind.

Sorry, old guy rant over...

Blessings
🙏❤️🙏
