    There’s always people ahead of the curve. You’re never gonna contend for the best just by starting at the same time as everyone else anyhow. Being the best takes raw ability, hard work, and something special that I’ve determine matters most. The most important thing for being the best is that you gotta want to do the thing purely for the sake of the thing. There’s no feedback loop that’ll ever beat the motivation of wanting the actual thing. Think Goku. He wants to fight.

    I’m a flow artist and I’m REALLY good. I got this way because there’s nothing I like better than pushing myself to move dexterously like this. I’m also the top ranked project muse player and got there before I had any idea I was actually that good. I’m just obsessed and being the best is a byproduct.

              You want discussion from me? Go learn what it is you wanna talk about first. I give you a very clearly defined word and you want definitions instead? I don’t have time to waste spelling it out to hundreds of curious people. Those who can, do.

                “I’m going to write a post about my passion.”

                “You want a discussion from me!?!”

                Jesus dude, maybe go practice some more instead.

                  Yeah that’s the idea! I’m not here to talk about my passion on a surface level with people who can’t be bothered to meet me half way. I’m engaging with the OP. I’ve been called a human dictionary before, but that’s not my job.

                Jeez if all flow artists are like this I think i’d rather remain ignorant

                Edit: I just googled it and I still have no fucking idea

                  I’d you ask me on the street “hey what is that”, that’s pretty valid since You’ve got nothing to go by. I’ll tell you the words and you can pressure a new curiosity. Here you think I gotta answer to a “wtf is that?” When you’ve got plenty to go by and y’all call it discussion? Get off your horse. If pictures and words aren’t enough to go by, try video! If that’s still not enough, wtf do you think I’m gonna give you? Do your own part.

            You think I wanna explain the whole scene to all of the hundreds of people who ask? Put some effort in yourself. You’re on the Internet and I used a very clearly defined word. I draw so much attention doing this every day that I’m absolutely sick of hearing “Is that some kind of weapon?”

              That’s fair. You can engage however you like, there’s no rules. I prefer a dialog in forums myself and would’ve enjoyed a discussion with you and your unique perspective.

                Probably should have found out what questions make sense to ask.
