The myth of overnight success is toxic and creates room for predators to deceive vulnerable creatives into abusive situations: financial, sexual, psychological. Thread
By telling young creatives that your life can change overnight by chance, we create room for malevolent people to step in as savior and exploit the vulnerable.
Hard work doesn’t look or feel glamorous most of the time. The rollercoaster of being a creative often looks like a lot of patience, meeting allies, growing together and a lot of self care.
It really is a marathon not a sprint and the few that I’ve witnessed that have had something close to overnight success, often get swallowed by it.
