 Exactly the message I needed. Exactly.  
 I got to see Bowie for my 21st birthday...

It was glorious.

 
 Jealous 
 I don't wanna humble brag or nuthin...

But...

You dont even know 😏 
 One of my favorite stories about him is he had a studio right next to the Berlin Wall and he would drop acid and just stare out over the wall from the third story window. 
 💯💯 
 Just to counter his point: most of the astounding artistic excellence produced before the « contemporary » era of bullshit, was made on commission, that’s how artists made a living. Maybe it’s also about skill, talent? Maybe a great artist never settles for mediocrity, indifferent if they create for themselves or for someone else’s guidelines?

 Always remember the reason you went down the path you're on.

 Strangely, I needed to hear this again.
I think this should be my alarm in the morning.
