Though the negative comments might be "kind of amusing", you said it yourself: it's 97% of us against 3% of them. Don't hang up too much on that side of the equation. We all know how honest and transparent you are with your life and your art. And yeah, sure! The majority of the world spends it's time chasing the life style of the "influencer", the winter vacation in Aspen, the Ferrari and all those hollow things while can't stop scrolling down on social media splashing their shit on those who are already on the right tracks of accomplishing a more tangible "dream" of a life style.
I know we are an absolute minority, and most of us are not the ones who put food on your table. But we are the ones who truly admire what you do, and who you are. And even when all theese words are not enough for a cup of noodles, hope they may be at least a tiny spark to manitain your creativity fueled and for you to keep on being yourself, and doing what you do regardless of the keyboard critics and the thumb joggers.
Art should be a struggle for those of us not aiming to make a living out of it. The struggle should be in the creative process. But, if you invest all your time, energy and resources in your art, I can't really see anything negative in wanting to grow, expand and evolve. Keep on aiming higher!
