Fantastic article , I think the social conventions I find unatural or irrational is the concept of artist success. By this I mean how people think to be succesfull in music or writing means that you get awards and make alot of money. However I think success is if people agree with what you say , enjoy the artifact you have created. For if you are only creating art for the sake of pleasing other people you not being true to yourself , not making pure art from your own experiences but trying to mould your art to what people expect.

Thanks for the compliment!
Artistic integrity is definitely a very delicate topic. Everybody agrees that artists shouldn't sell out, but everybody's go to agree too that they got to eat.
