Art to Me

I love all kinds of art. I'm just a creative person, but I have had parental figures that told me that I could not make money being an artist and that I should forget about it. So I gave up on it. I have been lost because they asked me to give up a part of me. I just can't do it anymore. I love to sew, I love to make jewelry, I love to sketch, I love to create henna tattoo designs, and most of all I love to write. Art to me is life, inspiration that speaks to people in different ways. Art brings people together, which is why I love it so much. You can have a horrible day and the right music or scene can make that horrible feeling go away. I want to inspire people with my art. I'm not trying to be famous, but I do want people to feel free. So much of society is based upon rules that are sometimes difficult to follow. Art to me is boundless. I think that is why the Diary of Ann Frank and artist like Tupac was so inspirational to people. They were brave enough to speak their minds even when there were unbearable circumstances. It's a great feeling when people admire my various art works. It reassures me that I am on the right path. I think everyone is an artist in their own way and they should explore their artistic side. Do whatever you want and be happy. It's good to be practical but its great to be happy. I think that is why I admire my friend Ricardo. He does what makes him feel happy, if he needs to go away for a while he will. That's something that as an artist I need to work on. I want to become boundless and unafraid of being different. I will and I hope you will too.
