I skipped guilt about hating school, college, and university!

Welcome to the university of life. :)

The streaming music analogy is a good one. I recognize this as something that has happened in my own life. I like the empowerment of curating my own life, a choice I made when I was newly divorced and at the end of my 30s. It took a leap of faith, and a confidence I didn't know I possessed to start skipping and create boundaries, and a new way to live. I really enjoyed reading about this process. Thanks Mark! Love, Virg

Love your art, do you design it yourself?

Thanks Bobby, design is probably the right word, but it's more I come up with a concept and ask AI to create it in a certain style, then iterate on that until I'm happy.

So I can't claim any real artistic talent I'm afraid!

It’s really good though, you should absolutely gives yourself credit! Promoting and refining is an art form on its own ha! Which model do you favour if you don’t mind me asking?

Thanks Bobby. I use Sora or Midjourney. I prefer Sora but it’s limited and I have an Annual Midjourney plan so I try and make use of it.
