puttin' in work, son

you ever looked at someone's work, and blurt out how talented and skilled they were? some works are just absolutely incredible, right? and when you dig a little, you see it's been an interest in their lives since they were younger, and it blossomed out to something beautiful.

i want to be that. not so much for peoples admiration and praise [that's nice, too], but because i personally want to be something incredible..

and that's gonna take some work, son!
