Thank you for bringing this conversation to the table!. As an artist myself, I've been reflecting on how, nowadays, so many people seem like copies of one another. It often feels like the focus is more on seeking the spotlight and external approval rather than embracing the creative process—which, as you mentioned, requires time, trial, and error. I truly believe that those who understand this and commit to developing their own style and voice will stand out in the long run. Eventually, people will tire of the repetitive cycle of unoriginal references that lack intention or artistic meaning. The creative process is what makes an artist unique, and that uniqueness can’t be developed if all one does is replicate what’s already been done.

it is so incredibly hard to stay in your own lane when everyone else seems to be on the fast track but I think, it's worth it!
