Didi Says: Art or Money, and Other Impossible Choices

Dear Didi, I love saying lies — not harmful ones, just creative ones. Everyone seems happier with my version of things. Is that wrong?

Beta, art was born the day truth got lazy. If your lies make people feel, you’re not lying — you’re editing reality. Just remember: tell stories, not excuses. — The Lying Artist

Dear Didi, with one woman I’m a poet, with another I’m a tragedy. Is that hypocrisy or range?

The heart has multiple tabs open. You’re just switching browsers. Be honest with your characters — not every poem needs to be a promise. — The Devdas Lover Boy

Art or money? Art brings love but no money. Corporate life brings money but no spark. What do I choose?

Both — just breathe between them. Let money pay your bills and art pay your soul. And remember: invoices can be spiritual too.

Going deeper vs wider. Everyone says, “Go deeper in your art,” but I keep going wider — one day painting, next day pottery, next day flirting with dance. Am I lost or evolving?

Darling, rivers don’t apologise for meandering. Depth isn’t about one direction — it’s about not faking the dive. If you’re still curious, you’re still creating.
