Please Stop Making Art a Loaded Word

from The Moderately Tortured Artist

Why is it that we shudder at the word "artist" when it's about ourselves? Why do we struggle to label what it is we create as "art"? In this episode I'm unpacking the heaviness and the expectation and the rules we place around the words "art" and "artist" in the hope that you'll claim it for yourself. You will never be given a green light into owning the status or being accepted into the club. The good news? You get to own it for yourself and take the weight and obligation out of it to boot. My desire for you is to live artfully and with 150% glee. Because who wouldn't want that?
