an artist's life

I'm applying for artist residencies and I can't help but to think:

"Shit. I feel like I have betrayed all that I am. I say I am an artist, yet it has been weeks since I have even picked up a paintbrush."

I go through phases where I will be completely immersed in my art, and other times where I will do everything except make art.

Or maybe that is just the life of an artist, a balance between constant immersion and rejection.

Either way, I vow to change that. I will merge those two facets of my life into one big creation.
