Georgia O'Keeffe's Hands

in a world that’s exhausting and wearying,
I’ve made a concerted effort to create artistic habits 
that are private and I don’t share,
online or otherwise.

somethings should just be for you. 

I have historically never made consistent money off of my art;
My practice has been very self-directed and self-generated...
therefore super self-rewarding. 

I am an unwitting passenger on currents of history 
that are infinitely larger than and entirely indifferent toward me, 
which hews the closest to how I really feel 
about endings or death or life or whatever,
but it is all mine, mistakes and all.
