I believe in art. I love the freedom of just thinking, of just being, of just imagining what you ever can imagine of. Every type of art has comforted me and inspired me to be who I am and what I'm going to be. From the stroke of a paint brush to the first note to hear from a guitar, from every breath I take to the first hit I took out of a pipe that probably as dirty as the bottom of the McDonald's fryer. This is art and all the things people make of it.
Every since I was a child I would always draw, draw, and draw. As I grew up it evolved into something more meaningful to me. I like to put effort into things that make me feel relaxed and made me want to do more. I did much more and experienced new things. I learned how to make music, how to write a shitty novel, how to write really shallow poetry and even how to make my angsty feelings make sense in the midst of it all.
My mother always told me it's not about how famous you are or how much money you have. It's about leaving something personal and meaningful for people to look back on and think of you. In the end it’s completely true no matter how much I have I decide to use it for something that makes me happy than rather looking for validation through others.
Anyway art is art after all . Art is something I can make it be whatever I want it to be. Before I pass away all I have left is feelings, I can either make it some bland, boring, plain life or a pressed in piece of art. No matter how much money I have that will not make people think better of me. Even though I may sound oh so pretentious and shallow art is really all I have left to make of. Life often happens to imitate art any way in forms music, movies, and paintings. It’s all I mostly can think of and do.
Most of these things that happen are do to my intake of society and how it makes me feel. Like what am I supposed to do with a posted picture of food when I can just cook it up. Why just would I stare at a painting that I could never paint when I can start painting and making my own. Creating and making my own thing makes me feel as an individual. I know this sounds cheesy but it is just what is it.
Enjoying it all is the most important part. The grasp of a pencil, the crumbling of a paper, and the smell of brand new copper strings on a guitar. These are all the reasons of why I love doing what I love to do. I believe I should be doing something that will improve me to be more like myself instead of somebody else. That's why I chose art.
