I could patron, but I'm missing some 7sbd for the high stakes :D if it's a tough week I would chip in now, if not I'd wait till next week or the following :) I have to say I just read my first post from you and I do know how you feel, It's a tough grind, many have fallen under it, many have walked out, in the end it shouldn't be about rewards, at least that's how I feel although I'd like to have them as much as the next guy... like @enternamehere I've stopped posting a few times for my year here, actually there are a few times that I have posted, mostly I comment and read, then get tired and overworked and stop, I'm nervous enough as it is to come here relying on whales and dolphins to feed the fish :)

it is what it is :)

I hope the art scene grows and manages to support itself in the modern times, maybe you can explore the other possibilities as well utopian, dtube and dsound even dmania :D you can move the shit posts there and still grind, while you work for the remainder of the day, it is tough however, consistency and the burn from overworking are tough to balance out

oh and shameless self promotion since you said master so much, it's my master post after all :)
