I used to think positive thinking meant telling yourself, “Everything is fine!” even when everything clearly wasn’t fine.

Art Posts, Artist Tips /

If you’re an artist trying to sell your work online in 2026, you’ve probably had the same thought I have: What’s the point of creating something if AI can recreate it—or someone can steal it—in seconds?

Are You Choosing This Thought, or Is This Thought Choosing You?

If you’re an introvert, your mind is probably one of the busiest places you’ll ever visit. It replays conversations, imagines every possible outcome, worries about tomorrow, and questions decisions you made weeks ago. Sometimes it feels like your brain never truly gets a day off.
