Want to go your own way and do your own thing?

I've been turning to Austin Kleon’s new book, ‘Keep Going’, for support this week, while I stumble along trying to figure out the ‘how’ part of my actually living an unconventional life, & the challenges of not meeting outside expectations of what I ‘should’ do, bring to my door.

Far too often everything gets boiled down to money, how much I do, or don’t have. My creativity has no interest in such things. It just wants to explore, play and travel continuously.  Yet the issue of being able to financially support myself is a day to day reality that has to be attended to. I haven’t figured it out yet.

The only thing I know for sure is that no matter what happens, I will keep going. I made a promise to myself a couple of years ago, after my mother died, to make my creativity the priority of my life. No matter how scared I feel, I am not going to break that promise.
