Timing is another. But survival is something else. Survival is between you and yourself, and I can help there. It is much less about all of those things coming together. Much, much less.
Survival is success, of course, personal success.
Think of it that way. One that will represent personal success. Artists need to lift each other up, and together they can make art a better place for everyone. Yes, artists learn from suffering like everyone else. And it may give depth to their work as well.
