Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice. As an ARTIST, because yes, I call myself an ARTIST, because I am that “artsy” girl, and that obnoxious kind of person who has maybe just a little too much pride and might come off snippity when it comes to my photography, I say that I would do ANYTHING to continue my art.

Just YESTERDAY I spent 3,000 on buying a macbook to enhance my digital photos, a printer to print them and aperature softward pre-installed for the best I can do.

I have a PLETHURA of supplies, but thats due to Micheal’s security system being so sadly poor. I break the rules to continue things I love to do, and to me, that is okay even if it’s the “wrong” thing, or “bad” in other’s eyes. I’m passionate about what I do.

I would just “like” this, but I want other people to see Sam’s crazy passion for what she does, so it gets a reblog.

I’ll admit, I’m not willing to go as far as stealing, or getting a job I hate to earn more, or sacrificing things that I love more than art (there are many things I do love more). I’m just not to that point yet, and maybe I won’t ever be. That’s okay with me, just like it’s okay with you.

And when I say I hate the word “artsy”, I mean people who think of themselves as more than they should, or flaunt it around like they’re the greatest thing since VanfreakingGogh, but have no skill, effort, or hard work to show for it. I know and work with a LOTLOTLOT of these types, and they make me nauseous. Trust me, you ain’t artsy, you go the whole way and be an artist.
