Friendship with other artists from "summary" of Just Kids by Patti Smith
In the world of art, friendship with other artists is essential. It is not just about companionship; it is about inspiration, collaboration, and growth. When you surround yourself with like-minded individuals who share your passion and vision, you create a supportive community where ideas can flourish and artistic boundaries can be pushed. As I look back on my own journey as an artist, I realize how important my friendships with other artists have been. From Robert Mapplethorpe to Sam Shepard, these relationships have shaped me as an artist and as a person. We shared not just our art but also our dreams, struggles, and triumphs. We challenged each other, learned from each other, and ultimately, grew together. Friendship with other artists is not always easy. There can be jealousy, competition, and misunderstandings. But ultimately, when you find those individuals who truly understand and support you, it is worth it. These are the people who will stand by you through thick and thin, who will celebrate your successes and comfort you in your failures. In my own experience, friendship with other artists has been a source of strength and resilience. It has helped me weather the storms of doubt and rejection, and it has given me the courage to keep pushing forward, no matter what obstacles may come my way. Together, we have created a bond that goes beyond words, a connection that transcends the boundaries of time and space. In the end, friendship with other artists is about more than just sharing a common interest; it is about creating a community of support, understanding, and love. It is about finding your tribe, your people, who will always be there for you, no matter what. And in that sense, it is truly a gift, a blessing, and a privilege.
