Oftentimes, we define ourselves by our passion.

Writer, painter, photographer, 3D designer, dancer.

But when was the last time you said, ‘Oh, I’m a writer’ and didn’t immediately think Wait, am I?.

When was the last time you actually felt like an artist, were in that creative mode, making these wonderful things you were so wonderfully proud of?

It could be an intro class, an advanced class, a hyper-specific dive into one little tiny aspect of your field you want to explore.

Classes teach you, yes, but they also give you assignments and deadlines and prompts, things that turn your do-it-whenever hobby into something that you almost ‘have’ to do.
