Is It Enough?

(text-colour:#eebefa)[I don't know.] [[>->1]]

(text-colour:#b2f2bb)[What don't you know?] [[>->2]]

(text-colour:#eebefa)[I don't know if what I'm doing is what I should be doing.] [[>->3]]

(text-colour:#eebefa)[I've spent all of my life pursuing artistic dreams. I've spent so much time creating, reading, watching, playing, listening. I've built up so many skillsets so I can create more and more.] [[>->4]]

(text-colour:#eebefa)[But there's so much injustice in the world. So many people who are suffering.] [[>->5]]

(text-colour:#d8f5a2)[There is. And there's not much you can do about it.] [[>->6]]

(text-colour:#d0bfff)[Exactly my point. I should be out there-] [[>->7]]

(text-colour:#d0bfff)+(align:"=><=")[Fighting the good fight! Putting out fires! Protecting the innocent! Saving lives!] [[>->8]]

(text-colour:#d0bfff)[But I'm not. I'm sitting here at my PC, working on stuff that's not all that.] [[>->9]]

(text-colour:#d8f5a2)[You can fight the good fight through creative means.] [[>->10]]

(text-colour:#d8f5a2)[Make a documentary about those injustices. Shine a light on the crooks committing them. Write folk ballads, design some shirts, take photos of protests.] [[>->11]]

(text-colour:#d0bfff)[...] [[>->12]]

(text-colour:#d8f5a2)[Hell, make a video game. You ever play that Twine game, You Are Jeff Bezos? Great political commentary. Very informative. And funny.] [[>->13]]

(text-colour:#eebefa)[Yeah. I'll do all of that. Meanwhile, the country is on the verge of collapse, Ukraine is still fighting an invasion-] [[>->14]]

(text-colour:#d8f5a2)[-And you can't do anything about that. I know.] [[>->15]]

(text-colour:#d8f5a2)[You are an artist. A creator.] [[>->16]]

(text-colour:#d8f5a2)[Maybe you won't save the world. Maybe some places of the world //will// fall apart. You know what you can do?] [[>->17]]

(text-colour:#d8f5a2)[You can distract people from all that. Just for a while.] [[>->18]]

(text-colour:#d8f5a2)[Give them an escape. A rest from all of that bullshit to build their stength back up so that they can get back to the front lines.] [[>->19]]

(text-colour:#eebefa)[...] [[>->20]]

(text-colour:#eebefa)[...Yeah. That does sound good. Almost noble.] [[>->21]]

(text-colour:#eebefa)[But is it enough?] [[>->21.5]]

(text-colour:#eebefa)[Am //I// enough?] [[>->Close/Start]]
