The artist committing himself to his calling has volunteered for hell, whether he knows it or not. He will be dining for the duration on a diet of isolation, rejection, self-doubt, despair, ridicule, contempt, and humiliation. ― Steven Pressfield

Had I only known this years ago, I might not have gotten in this deep. 

ps: this painting is comical to me because I don’t know anything about fashion, nor do I care about it. I own only a few items of clothing that aren’t splattered with paint, ripped or stained. The words just happened to stand out to me on a big collage paper sheet, and I know how important fashion is to most women.
