Today it is more of my self definition that is at stake. I have been in this scene for so long it is a part of my character and I am not full unless I am still painting, tagging, putting up stickers, scribing, paste ups, all of it, it is just who I am underneath.
I think some people can be too focused on the endgame but not appreciating the journey, the hardships, experiences, shit you need to go through to get there.
