I really appreciate the honesty brother. I share some of your regrets. It’s hard to balance the demands of life under capitalism and creative expression. I’m finding inspiration in your embracing of creativity. Your time isn’t up yet. Get after it!
This is good. Thank you for sharing! Maybe your strength is just not in sustaining and executing. The world needs activators and sustainers. And maybe you need to find someone who can sustain what you activate?
We have so much in common Derek - well, except for the talent and creativity piece…i got none of that. But the search for who and what we really are and trying to both overcome and gain insight from the traumas of childhood are the tie that binds us. And our early interactions with one another in middle school are a testament to just how lost and angry we both were. But your incredible, insightful stories of your personal journey are both a testament to your growth and an inspiration to those of us still trying to figure it all out. I guess what I’m trying to say is that your insights and introspection aren’t just helping you and for that I thank you.☮️
I love the raw, honest vulnerability of this post!
What is success anyway? For me, it’s all about getting lost in the creative process…simply being enthralled in the moment. I’m not so sure that recognition, fame and money necessarily bring happiness anyway.

That’s good advice, I have been learning the lesson of teamwork over trying to do it all.

Success is doing what you love, and having the sweetest girlfriend ever. Thanks for getting me halfway there. ❤️
This is wonderful. You are wonderful.
Thanks and back at you!
