RE: VALIDATION ~ Drop in the Ocean
A nice little kick in the arse for anyone who complains about not receiving validation. It is a dangerous road as the spiral into oblivion and thinks that validation from others will be their saving grace. It helps sure and as an artist or creator, there is a point that you need to ask "Is it me?" If you can then honestly say no, I believe what I am doing is what I should be doing then stick it out, now if your livelihood depends on it then sure look after your livelihood but don't completely disregard your true passion. Maybe it is just timing.
Many people lose the convictions due to the lack of validation. Timing plays an important role as well. I would say that in your youth you are more daring and care less about it. Then it is followed by a period of self-doubt and constant need of approval which would pass once you reach your mid 30's and realize that you wasted a decade looking for something you may never get.
True, even with reading great insights like this we all will still have to experience a lot of this ourselves. It would have been nice to have this comment when presenting your post. Then I could have done it more justice. I always like your more critical look at things based on actual experience.
