MidJourney Is Not Talent. It’s Time Spent Looking…
There’s a story people like to tell themselves.
That someone typed a clever line,
pressed a button,
and images just appeared.
That’s not what happened here.
I didn’t discover MidJourney yesterday.
I didn’t “try it out” for a weekend.
I didn’t get lucky.
I spent three years with it.
Three years of:
looking at images that didn’t work
learning what not to ask
developing taste by rejecting more than keeping
understanding how small changes change everything
realizing that most results are supposed to be bad
MidJourney doesn’t create vision.
It exposes it.
If you don’t know what you’re looking for, it will show you everything.
If you start to know, it will start to respond.
That’s the part no one talks about.
Yes — it’s easy to start.
You describe what you want.
You press enter.
You get images.
That part takes minute.
What takes time is learning to see:
what’s close
what’s wrong
what’s accidental
what’s worth keeping
Most images are not good. MOST IMAGES ARE NOT WHAT YOU WANTED.
That’s normal.
That’s the work.
The difference between “AI images” and finished galleries
is not the tool.
It’s repetition plus taste.
Three years doesn’t mean obsession.
It means consistency.
Showing up.
Looking carefully.
Throwing things away.
Doing it again.
MidJourney doesn’t replace creativity.
It removes friction from expressing it.
If you’re curious, you can start today.
If you stay with it, you’ll see progress.
If you leave after two hours, you’ll believe the myth.
AI doesn’t replace intelligence. It multiplies whatever you bring. REMEMBER THAT.
Easy to start.
Still work to finish.
