i think there has been a misconception that a life that is truly lived is only when you achieved greatness like your art has changed the world, or if you're well-known even after you die, or if you become at the top of your chosen craft.

but i agree with you when you mentioned "find the thing that you love doing so much that you're willing to spend the rest of your life doing it with 0 recognition or success." do a craft because it gives you joy and not because you want to be known or something. but also, i firmly believe that your art deserves to be seen so at least, share your craft to people.

i also stood by what vincent van gogh said "what is done in love is well done!"
