“When you’re in your 20s, there’s all these paint by numbers kits to life, you can be a professor, a businessman, a lawyer.
The nice thing about a paint by numbers kit is that you don’t have to think about it that much because as long as you stay in the lines you’re going to end up with a nice picture at the end.
But the only way to paint a masterpiece is to start with a blank canvas.”
There’s nothing more terrifying than a blank canvas. There’s no way to talk about it. There aren’t good models for where you’re going. But it’s up to you to paint the picture you dream of.
