Notes on mastery

The path of an artist is one of no right or wrong. Only growth and dedication. It is a privilege to exist safely held in a place to explore as you are. To learn without retribution or shame or fear of abandonment. As failure only means you’re one step closer to mastery. The road to mastery is sometimes a lonely one depending on which it is you choose to dedicate to. As mastery of the self is true art. And to create purely, intuitively and unabatedly is love. something that cannot be done in a single lifetime. Love is mastery of the self in all its iterations. To understand, to see, to hold. That is love. Love transforms you if you allow it. It transmutes fear and limitation into beauty. The life of an artist isn’t an easy one. But it is so rich and full of experiences and emotions.

I want to master life. I wonder how long that may take me.
