Hear the podcast version:
Hello, my name is Tomas I am 29 years old turning 30 this year, I am from Argentina but I’ve been living in Sydney for the past year. I have been traveling for almost 2 years and I’m planning on staying here indefinitely.
I have been thinking of starting this for some time now, suddenly I came to the realization that if I didn’t start now… I wouldn’t. I have been always waiting to be in the right place, at the right time. But there’s always something missing, it’s always better to have more time to prepare. I think that in life you just have to try and figure it out as you go, especially for me being on this journey of trying to make it as an independent artist, on my own. I’ve learned that you have to put yourself out there. It’s incredibly hard but if you want to succeed, you have to try everything you can and do as much as possible.
So I’m starting this, which I am very afraid to do, I am not a very extrovert person, I am very quiet, I try to keep to myself most of the time. So this is very scary for me, but it’s also very good. I need to start opening up and not be so shy all the time.
I’m starting this blog with the objective of, recording my journey as I go, try to see if I can make it. I know I am not the greatest artist, but I am much better than I was when I started. I am finally realizing, after all these years, that I need to develop patience and enjoy the process. It’s a long process, and I really, really like making art every day and seeing the improvement over time. I need to see how far I can take this, it’s just so important to me, I can’t think of doing anything else. And I’ve tried, I’ve held a number of jobs since I’ve been here, but I keep coming back to art, I can’t let it go. I owe it to myself and to everyone around me because if I don’t do it, I’m gonna go crazy.
Thank you and see you in the next one :)
