I’m convinced that, as much as people complain about how fake people are and how surface level relationships can be these days, they subconsciously prefer things that way.
It’s important you know exactly who you are. You’d be surprised at how people constantly downplay how great you’re just to fit their own narrative and keep you small
If you’re a creative in any field trying to find the spotlight. You have no business being overly mysterious when it comes to you craft. Visibility, consistency, and relatability are what attracts recognition to whatever you’re trying to build not secrecy
Keep working and believing, it'll pay off. When it does , spend it however you wish. Do right by whoever did right by you, spoil the family, travel the world. Whatever makes you happy.
