As an artist I can confirm I have never spent a "reasonable" amount of time, had a "healthy" amount of interest in a new medium, or "gracefully" accomplished any artwork. I am a hot mess of imposter syndrome, bad posture, hot pockets and a bottomless well of love for other artists.

You just live to break our hearts. (I mean that as a compliment)

"Talent" is really the incredible stubbornness to refuse to give up.
