I think one of the saddest realities in life, is craving something you deem as valuable and meaningful and then when it’s finally in your possession - with no experience of how to nurture it, you ruin it and lose it; only to continue the rest of your life searching for its replacement. The art of appreciation will always overshadow regret.

I like be left alone. I am never bored with myself; I may get extremely depressed but that’s far from boredom.

I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art.

LET YOUR ART BE UGLY!!! LET YOUR WRITING BE BAD!!! DANCE OFFBEAT!!! SING OFF KEY!!! LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO LET YOUR FEAR OF NOT BEING GOOD ENOUGH PREVENT YOU FROM LEARNING AND ENJOYING NEW THINGS!!!

The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.
Lord Byron (via lazypacific)
Go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.
