Just catching you up. I posted this a while ago on my other blog, So Write.
Tonight, I am going to an art show. The Confluence Art Walk to be exact. I've never heard of them, but a friend of mine is hosting, and so we are going. I can't wait! Every time I see any art, I get a sense of respect for....everything. I'm making it sound corny, which is not my intention.
It's like I realize that they spent so long on that piece of work.
A lot of artists think it's not just right, that it's not good enough, and we'll work and work to get it the way we want. Not everyone will like our finished products. A lot will. But we don't let that get in our way.
We keep sculpting, or painting, or writing or what ever it is we do and don't let others' opinions define us. This doesn't mean we don't care what other people think, it just means we know what makes us happy, and how we like to express our emotions.
I honesty believe that everyone is an artist(If my sister is reading this, Naomi, I apologize for the corniness. At least it's not as bad as Beauty and the Beast) no matter what they do it. If they're a constructor, a painter, a designer, a knitter, a baker, a writer, or really anything, it's a form of art.
And as if this cheesy enough, here's what I'm trying to get at.
You are wonderful. You're talented. You don't have to care what the other people think about you, as long as you know who you are, and what do what you love. Don't go the extra mile just to please other people. If you do something you really love, someone out there will really love it, just like you.
