#backwards

Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There's plenty of movement, but you never know if it's going to be forward, backwards, or sideways. ↗

It seems almost backwards to me that my music seems the more emotional outlet, and the art stuff seems more about ideas. ↗
