You’ve done IT but it appears you’re the only one clapping. Maybe for a moment or two you hear other hands moving but then it dissipates as if you’re the only one still in the room. You feel more alone then when you’ve actually started. Then suddenly you find their is one in the back that can’t stop staring. This one knows more about what you did and/or perceives then the one who is actually lived it. He/she continues to clap way after the audience has left. The truth is nobody appears to care on one cares way too much. Either way the things you accomplish must be appreciated and held on to by the one who looks at their own mirror. That’s especially true when everyone has left and one lurks behind.
FOOTNOTE- Many a time an accomplished artist might want to move on but others want to hold them in their past.
