Especially for people of our generation, who really celebrated certain attitudes - the outsider, the loner - it can have a real impact on the art when they realize, I have friends, I'm married, or I have kids. That's certainly happened to me.
I say that when you have perceived or attained the goal, compromises, renunciations, do not exist. If you have seen the goal, compromise ceases to exist. It is then a question of a different attitude.

Someone has said that "feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it."

They are essentially commitments and attitudes that foster collaboration and positive collective action.
