Whew... yes, that deep need.

If i don't do it i go totally crazy. Depression, anxiety, whatever the latest popular diagnosis is. The making money doesn't even calculate in. And then i end up with a life of poverty and isolation thinking there's something wrong with me. This is too much info... i did have hopes of even a small income from steemit. I unwisely bought steem when it was over $5 dollars. I might break even in 2 or 3 years. It's just relentless the time effort and cost to make art and even photography. Getting little to nothing in return and getting judged by people at the same time. I suppose the safety valve is just saying something "i'm not an artist i'm just having fun and meeting people... Nothing wrong there :)
