i relate to your posts about art/talent and music so so much. i feel like we have exactly the same mindset when it comes to it. its insane to me.
yes omg i know which post you mean, i am sooo glad anybody relates. whenever i deny being talented and people tell me that i am it truly breaks my heart, i was once caught in a conversation like that and i ended up in tears, i kid you not. everything is worked for, that's the condition of living in a body, in material reality, where no energy cannot be created out of nothing, there has to be something that goes in before there is an outcome. why would i be happy to hear "it was handed to you on a silver platter by fortune" and treat it like a compliment? publicity may be handed out to people, but not an actual skill, that cannot be faked, it has to be worked for. i do not think i'm talented. whatever level they may stand on, i am proud to have achieved my skills, intelligence, knowledge and taste only by myself
