Of course the trade of is we live modestly and are always careful of our spending and savings. I prefer that over the alternative.
I prefer it too. There is some self-worth in not having to be completely reliant on others.
Plus working from home allows me to constantly try additional things including Hive.
:)
Sometimes I think that people would be shocked at the amount of work it has taken me to get this far on Hive and how I have worked over the years. I hope it benefits me and everyone else also, but I hope people recognize that nothing is easy and if they want a better future, they have to act better now.
I probably wouldn't be shocked, I've made over 200 (I think it's close to 300) posts in 2 years (most are quite long) and I used to be wayyy slower at painting especially when I first started blogging (3.25 years ago). So yeah ,a lot of time invested and you're wayy far ahead, so wayyy more time. Also I took a year off from blogging because of depression/ mourning and I barely did any art until recently (other than work).
I'm still slow at writing, likely slower than average people, always have been xD
Hope you are okay - has it made you a better artist?
I'm ok thank you, getting better with time.
Idk about better artist, I'd trade art to get mom back,she was only in her 40s.
