Why do we look for answers in the wrong places?

Internal validation vs. external validation

I think it’s so much easier to search outside of ourselves for validation than to do the hard work of loving and accepting our imperfect souls.

After being obsessed with finding a way to make haiku comics that I’m proud of for there or four years, I’m just starting to understand some key things about creativity and my own emotional and mental makeup.

I now know that I have deep fear and shame issues around money, art, and success. I haven’t processed or healed from any of these yet. But as they used to say at the end of each G.I. Joe cartoon, “Knowing is half the battle.”

Be the weird you want to see in the world!

Cheers,

Jason
