Yup. My Mom likes to joke “you clearly found a great way to enjoy life.” Both of my parents have some of my work hanging up in their houses as does Julie’s family.
I decided when I started I wanted everything to be in my name because for me to hide it meant I was ashamed of it and Im fortunate enough to have friends and family that are all supportive enough I didn’t even have to think about hiding it.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think people shouldn’t use a different name for internet identities, it just wasn’t for me.
