It’s rad to read this from you. And it will probably help a lot of young artists who have similar dreams of creating community balance their internal desires. Thanks for posting this one, a great reminder. I recently gave a TEDx talk, “What Makes You Stoked?”. The topic is very similar. I had a pro surfing career and then a filmmaking career and the desire for more lead me to a major burn out. The experience, which was 37 years in the making taught me that it is absolutely okay to do things for their own sake. Being in service to something bigger than ourselves, especially the arts, is the reward. Thanks again Bobby, epic morning read 🤙🏽
What a great read. One that I suspect will be timeless and relevant at any and every point in the future. We are lucky to live in a time where so much is accessible and possible. Yet our challenge is not only guarding ourselves from the myth of “more,” but realizing that it is problematic in the first place. Appreciate you, Bobby.
I felt my shoulders relax. Great piece Bobby !
I love you Liz!
