While on the Internet, you tend to run into random outlets that at times give you a way of expressing yourself and in other ways entertaining others. The fruits of these labors often can’t be measured in cold, hard cash but in views and comments by users who just appreciate your work and really want you to know how awesome it is.
In many ways, this art often comes at the price of a good job and steady income. It isn’t really till we commercialize this process that we really start to make money. The difference, I guess between those who sell out and those who don’t is those who are still around. You’re either living the high life, doing what you want with an advertisement shoved up your ass or your broke, working a 9 to 5 job that covers the bills while you try to find the creativity to pursue such crafts.
Often, I think about this paradox and how selling it might mean happiness for me and this community. It’s hard to find people who will visit this site and bother to join yet alone go one of these cultural exchange programs. More importantly, it’s hard to lose site and not give up when it seems like your having a conversation all by yourself.
I guess it really all comes down to how determined you are and if you’ll ever be able to reach that mythical level of self-reliance.
Sincerely, Hector Guzman
