So glad you wrote this, there seems to be an overwhelming lack of pursuit or desire on substack, in its place is this yearning for a quiet, ‘work’ free life. However, being creative, being an artist IS work, and if there is a demand for your creativity you should be rewarded for it. Being ‘creative’ and wanting are not mutually exclusive.
Yes it okay to want a beautiful life and even better to have fullfilling life. We probably also need defense for "it is okay to be karma yogi" or "it is okay to have ascetic life"

This is really good, Isabel. I’m glad you don’t and aren’t making yourself small. Be your full self!
I am trying to do this too. It is hard! The road is rocky! But I continue.
