I just want to sit, read some mystical shit, transmute the ideas into paintings, sell those for six figures, and keep on living my best life. I just got the most profound level of clarity today. It might sound a little echoey y'all.

Welcome.

Welcome co-creators, I'm in the tub! I'm - in - the - tub. I don't know if you can hear the water. Why do I get my best ideas, like, in water? Usually when I'm in the shower, or when I'm taking a bath? Let me just, let me just grab my phone. Let me record.

What I'm going to do, I'm speaking this, what I am doing. The affirmation for my life is that: I sit, read some mystical shit, transmute those ideas into paintings, sell those paintings for six figures, and keep on living my best life. And that's really what I want to do.

To a certain extent, I already do that. And I always try to remind myself, like, whenever you think that you're looking for something outside, always look within first. And many of the times what we're looking for is right in front of our face, is right in front of our eyes.

but is literally a mental shift that takes place inside your subconscious. And I'm having this subconscious shift. But I'm also having this resistance and it's like, uh, like this, this resistance is bothering me so much. And it's something that I've struggled with for so long. if you found me on YouTube, then you might have seen a video where I talk about, I think I titled it: fear of inaccessibility.

And I recently made an Instagram post, as well. Hella long Instagram post. If you haven't seen that post, I'm gonna link it down in the description of this Patreon post. But it was a very long caption where I talked about: artists don't owe you accessibility and a lot of artists commented on that and it resonated with so many people. And y'all, whenever I talk about this stuff, it's really a message that I need to hear first and foremost. the stuff that I be saying before me, okay, I be need to remind myself, like Aramis, you don't owe anybody accessibility. Affordability is subjective. What sort of limiting beliefs do you need to unlearn to get you past this thing of, like guilt, you know? It's just like so weird. It's weird. it feels like I have this ball and chain on my ankle. And it's like, I'm trying to run but it's like, no, no, no, come on back. And it's like, I try to sprint and it's like, no, it's just yanks me, keeps yanking me back and I'm like, what the hell is this? You literally need to release this and let this go.

You share so much. You give so much, you show up so much. You make yourself available, you give so much of your time, your energy, your light, your art, like, you literally been selling $20 prints for five years.

Okay! And, but okay, see, first of all, Gemini! Okay. I always have two conversations going on in my mind. So I'm gonna tell yall what the conversation be. So I say that on one side than the other little, the other little twin on the other shoulder be like: Well, yeah, but there's people, there's always new people finding you. So even though, you've been doing this for so many years, like the new people who come in, what about them? But then the other twin be like, GIRL!

People are always gonna be finding you, you're always gonna be new to somebody. So it's like, I just always think about Beyoncé. Okay, I have this plaque on my desk that says:

What would Beyoncé do?

There's still, now of course, there's probably aren't new people meeting Beyoncé because the girl been in the game for like over 25 years at this point. But there's still always somebody who was going to be new to your journey.

And I just be thinking about, like, if Beyonce kept doing just like little talent shows at her elementary school, we wouldn't be able to experience the magnetic, phenomenal, amazing goddess that she is. I'm so grateful that she bloomed.

I am so grateful... that she gave herself permission to do that...

Because I know how hard it is. I know how hard it is y'all. I talked about this in the Patreon tutorial. In that video. I'm a comment creeper. Okay, I got no shame. I'm a comment creeper. Ya girl be reading. That's probably the problem. I'm consuming too many opinions. I consume, like social commentary and reading different comments, sometimes you just gotta shut all that shit off and just go! Do what you need to do. Don't worry about what the fuck somebody gonna say or how somebody is gonna feel because the people who resonate with that, those are the people that you're touching.

“Don’t worry about what the fuck somebody gonna say or how somebody is gonna feel because the people who resonate with that, those are the people that you’re touching.”

And Beyonce haters, Beyonce ain't worryin' bout them, boo. She over here bloomin for me, giving me permission to bloom too. You know so it's like that's the person who's doing it for. Fuck somebody, fuck the Beyonce hater! If you a Beyonce hater, you need to leave the Patreon community now! Okay, cuz I'll stand for that. Leave right now. LOL!

I'm just so grateful for you. If you made it this far. Thank you for taking the time to listen to this...bathtub rant! Is that what we're gonna call these? Are we calling these Bathtub Rants, like I don't know. Let me know what we should call these audio recordings of me just splashing around in the tub. Okay? Thank y'all so much. Let me know if this resonated with you. I'm sending you all the love, all the light that I can muster and I just hope you remember that everything you need is right in front of you. It's right in front of you and it's right within you. And you are it. It is here and you just got to wait & witness. Thank you so much. I hope y'all have a fantastic day!
