As a painter, as a writer, as a poet, or as any other liberal profession you have, it is good to be free.
Don’t confuse the profession with your life. Profession is one thing, work is another, and life after profession or job is another.
It is good to be free in what you do. Manifest yourself as you wish in writing, art, poetry, photography, and so on.
Manifest yourself freely because you have the right, in the liberal professions. Because it’s art.
