For a long time, I’ve waited for that external nod, that validation from someone else to make me feel like I’m on the right path.
But I’ve realized that waiting for others to affirm my journey just leads to frustration.
So, instead of hoping to be chosen, I’ve decided to choose myself.
Choosing myself means moving forward on projects that genuinely matter to me, even if they don’t fit the conventional mold.
It means trusting my instincts and backing my own ideas, without waiting for permission or validation.
I’ve found that when I commit to my vision, things tend to align—not because I’m waiting on approval, but because I’m actively creating it.
In a world that often pressures us to conform, choosing myself has become my strongest act of independence.
It’s a powerful reminder that I have the agency to define my path and the resilience to follow it through—chosen or not.

Eric's BlogThe Artist's Oath
The Artist’s Oath is a personal commitment to how I show up creatively. It is a reminder to lead with integrity, to resist the pressure to perform, and to make work that reflects truth, not just what gets attention. It is a compass for navigating the tension between expression and permanence, and a way to stay rooted in what matters: presence, process, and purpose, not perfection.
