Make art, not friends

Have you ever read the bio of a famous artist or poet? They did all kinds of shit in their lifetimes that brought them social derision. I’ve never read a single artist’s life story that was like, Neighbors appreciated how neatly she kept her lawn. Her marriage was described as solid. She got the oil changed in her car dependably each 3 months or 3000 miles, whichever came first. All I’m saying is that if you are not hurting anyone and your art is selling, be exactly the kind of person you want to be.
