The point of art is not to be acknowledged for it, although that's certainly nice. I really believe the point of doing art/being creative is to be good to your soul. If it touches other people, that's fantastic. If it touches only you, it's work well done.
Like you, when I was younger, everything in my life was about some form of creative expression. The emphasis on creative expression has dwindled since I've gotten older and had to be more "responsible" about being a grown up with bills to pay and a roof to keep over my head, but I still get creative and it's usually with stuff most people don't see, and I'm fine with that. I hope you continue to express yourself artistically, even if it's not going to earn you worldwide (or even local?) recognition, because that's not remotely what art is about (in my opinion).
