MaynardWinter, talking like this qualifies you for artist, so, you're already there.
1.) Nobody listens to artists. Read much Isaiah? Painful, however beautiful, true. Continuous nuisance for the artist is, who's listening, and remembering that of those who do "listen", the vocal majority will tell you to stop. I think they're mouthing thier own internal message to stop themselves, want you to join them and have fun stopping; safer, cleaner. It's a distraction; ignore it. Go for it, as you say.
Later if you have to explain yourself, you can say it was for the community, for the glory, because the voices said so, whatever. Read up on authorial intent - you'll find there's a critical tradition of ignoring your explanations since it makes work for writers and professional lookers. Great! You're making things; keep going.
2.) You sound uncomfortable being who you are. That is an engine that the majority lack. Ride it to your own destination. You don't appear interested in becoming part of a pettable niche. You're as interesting as you are; keep it up.
California is full of scrambled ethnicity, and veiled prejudice. Is there somewhere different? -only where everyone is all the same, then it flips over to height weight $, etc. We're all treated differently; perhaps it's lucky you have a better place to observe from, and therefore to learn from. Tell us about it; we need to hear it, despite the fact we'll ignore you and tell you to shut up.
3.) We all fail. It always ends in death. That's why we're free. Value, merit, these come from relationship, from community. The future doesn't exist.
Consider this: you're very verbal. Are you writing? What's so impportant for you about creating marks from a visual language?
