Am I a failure?
This weekend I felt like a failure.
Went out into public with a new painting to sell.
Now I am looking for truth. Is failing my true nature?
I worked on the design for hours. I thought it was good.
The passer by said "keep trying"
I thought fuck you - my work is fine - you just misunderstood.
Maybe I should have more talent or maybe need to work smarter.
Or should I even care what they thought?
Right or wrong I do care - so will work on it a little bit harder.
