Consequently I became very good at it, except for one thing... <br />It was always all about me. Purely ego-driven. An insatiable hunger for adulation and praise. Finally realizing this, I abandoned my career, completely, and have never revisited it. <br />No regrets. The big payoff was the realization of what a wanker I had been. <br />The Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323413604073160469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-46092703582576334302013-08-16T17:30:37.928+01:002013-08-16T17:30:37.928+01:00@L - Oh yes, I appreciated real, good art from age...@L - Oh yes, I appreciated real, good art from age about 13/14 - and had a pretty good knowledge and deep appreciation of literature and classical music especially.<br /><br />It was later, in my twenties, when I became almost deliberately corrupted in this respect as in others - a consequence of staying single for too long, I think.<br /><br />I knew better, but it happened anyway.

Whether or not you realized this was fake creativity, did you have a taste for the real thing? Did this follow after a rejection, however gradual, of the attitude put forward in this post or vice versa?Luqmannoreply@blogger.com
