What if

What if I do a deep dive into my shadow?  What if I accept all my anxiety and fear?  What if doing that makes me whole?  Or feel enough?  I have long held the belief that I should cut away my darkness.  How idiotic is that?  I think I need learn from it not get rid of it.   Can you ever truly get rid of it? 

What if

What if I base my success on how my art has enriched my life and how I felt when I created it?  My art adds value to my life.  I add value to this world because I am a better person for making my art.
