This was a great video dude. I'm going through something similar. I started making music 5 years ago, and as my love grew, I wanted to make it into a career. In the process of trying to make that happen, I get so absorbed in what people love, what they hate; slowly letting that work its way into my writing. Every note I feel scared that it's not enough for the people that I think I'm writing it for. It's so insanely shallow. To create something in this world dedicated to people that I don't know. I just want to write, no fear of external judgment. Anybody can tailor something for someone else, but the personality of the one creating it will then mean nothing. Your point about creating for a higher power is beautiful. In my view, it's creating art for someone who will never provide praise or negative feedback. It is just is, and they have it. You made tangible evidence of your vision, and that's enough because every person is so mf special.
This was great! I feel the pressure to monetise photography daily being surrounded by many talented content creators, I think this helped me pull my mind out of that mindset
