Just read this post by @fercaggiano and I can relate to it on a deep level. "The lesson was harsh: passion projects don’t always pay the bills." I was thinking yesterday of how because I'm used to "digital money", I don't pay mind to getting money from a 9 to 5 or a business. As a writer, I've earned crypto from writing my thoughts but the model isn't sustainable yet. At first, FC looked like a good solution but the algo changes every now and then, and it can favour whoever it chooses to favour. Yesterday, after pondering on these things, I felt silly for thinking I could live on crypto earnings. The freedom is good but it can't pay the bills and that's the harsh reality. I love your post Fer and I hope you and the ones you love are okay. ❤️ https://paragraph.com/@fercaggiano/how-nfts-ruined-my-art-career?referrer=0xaECD8AF7046daDD29f9cd60Dd91D2c69E0D6b366

Thanks for reading ife. It’s a sad reality for artists but we don’t choose to be artists and all we can do is learn how to navigate life finding stability somehow so we can keep our creative freedom alive in our hearts. I’m blessed with a nice family and relocated back home to seek support. We are ok. The best we’ve been in years, emotionally speaking. Art doesn’t pay my bills but I’m finding some balance. I hope you do as well 🫂💙
