Recently, I had a talk with some one who know me. It is a well known fact that I have the artistic bent. I got all praise on the artistic part of myself the whole encounter. It is fun to have compliment on what I make but why do give praises just for the artistic traits that I possess? I do not understand that. It does not based on something concrete. Would be great to be rich each time people praise creativity.
Glamor and the artist life seems to go hand in hand. Pretty illusion and maybe some artist had entertained that idea to an ideal. It is easy for those who are well known to reflect the sparkles. The current system that surround some present artists gives possitive feedback to those who had succeedded and that are making money. It is true for actors, musician and singers.
It is nice to get some praised for what I had done or what I am. On the other hand, I do not makes my living out of my creativity, not yet. So, I do feel it is a bit of nosense that some people praise me on something that is part of me but that is not yet used to it's full potential. In addition, it is one part of my life, not the total sums of myself.
Next time someone does that, I think I will ask for a glass of absinthe and excuse myself by saying that I needed to visit the spa. If glamor and artists are linked together, better laugh at the stereotyping. I do not fit the stereotype, so I may have to play with it.
