But it doesn&#8217;t happen, I would\u00a0say, try a window. I don&#8217;t believe in waiting around for things to happen. I believe in making them happen for yourself. And sometimes, when a door doesn&#8217;t seem to budge at all, it&#8217;s time to move on and find another way. Knocking on the same door that won&#8217;t\u00a0open will only\u00a0drive you mad, and it&#8217;s time wasted. Get over it and move on. Don&#8217;t ever become attached to the outcomes of your art, otherwise it will stop you from creating when things get tough. You have to be free from attachement \u00a0to create. Don&#8217;t hold on to\u00a0onto expectations.
