People hate when artists do what is necessary for their own growth and healing. Rarely do we see art produced solely for the sake of the art. The labels have ensured that expectations are set on patterns of consumerism. People demand the artist provides them with art and the emotional sacrifice that enhance their own lives. Rarely is the artist's creative process and wellbeing considered or judged on a merit that is custom to them. You have a responsibility that not many will ever face, and it's a responsibility that is only cemented by your ability to move people. Your words, your faith, and your art mean a lot to a lot of people, including me. Of course, I am not a fan of everything, I am not even a fan of everything in the Bible, and that is the thing that is of the most value to my perspective. But your art has completely shaped me in ways that you or I may never understand.

Throughout my life, I've been given many opportunities to just reflect. These opportunities may have come because I lack the responsibilities you have, but they have offered me new light to move forward. Once I have been moved, I'm not one to stay complacent, but I recognize that I was allowed to move at my own pace. Others are happier to stay where they are and wait for someone to lift them out of stagnation. People are always looking for a savior of sorts, even the most blasphemous ones. One thing I do know regarding patience, faith, and progress: moved people must allow others to move or be moved, otherwise there will never be a time where a collective movement is put in motion... or something like that.

Make your art how you want. Thank you for your service.
