    Claiming your creative worth takes a sure footedness that can only come from doing parts of it, bit by bit and a knowing that it will work out in the end. It is a modality, a training, a skill cultivated overtime that strengthens with great mentors and tutors. "Will they be able to sustain life as artists or will their inherent talent and dedication to craft be even acknowledged and remunerated when a machine can spit out similar pictures in a heartbeat. Will their songwriting be ever heard due to the algorithm and ways the platforms are setup; less for the artist." Never give up on your creativity.
