You are buying hundreds of hours of experimentation and thousands of failures<\/b>. You are buying days, weeks, months, years, of frustration and moments of pure joy<\/b>. You are buying nights of worry about paying the rent, having enough money to feed the children, the birds, the dog. You aren't just buying a thing<\/b>, you are buying a piece of heart, part of a soul, a private moment in someone's life. Most importantly, you are buying that artist more time to do something they are truly passionate<\/b> about; something that makes all of the above worth the fear and the doubt; something that puts the life into living<\/b>.
