Why being an artist is not too far from anyone

First of all, I’d like you to know the meaning of the word art:

ART: something that is created with imagination and skill and that is beautiful or that expresses important ideas or feelings

I always get compliments like “you’re so artsy”, “I love your work”, “your texts inspire me”. But also, these messages are together with “I could never do that”, “I wish I have talent” or “I don’t even know how to do anything well”.

Standing in the land of our minds, we might think we can not break our own walls, walls that were created by ourselves and by people around us. But why does it happen, leading ourselves believe we can’t control our own ideas or have new ones to express our feelings?

I see that I use all of my deepest feelings to do what I call art. Sadness, happiness, uncertainty and assurance. These are some stuff I try to express in my craft, such as paintings, poems, songs, texts and photography. All of these I learned by trying harder and harder, over and over again. It was never enough; Giving up has never been an option.

Those feelings are everyone’s feelings. We all have feelings like being happy, sad, in doubt or sure. I’m afraid people don’t know how to put it out, and for something to get known, it first has to happen.

Allowing ourselves try different parts of who we are breaks the walls inside of us. We jump it to the next yard — it might be beautiful, or not. The point is:

How could you know if you haven’t tried yet?

Knowledge and skills are improved with time. Some of us were born with talent, such as playing piano or in drawing. But also, it’s not impossible to be good at something you wish you were!

If you want to draw, paint, play or write, do it until you get the greatest. Try it over and over again. It’s never too far when the subject is you and your strength.

I tought I couldn’t write, paint or sing like I do, but I reserved time for myself so I could train my body and mind. I knew where I wanted to get and that is my motivation until nowadays. I still join different parts of me and enjoying the road. Life teaches us where to put our feelings on, and once you get it, go ahead fearless.

It is important to know if you’re doing it right

We won’t always be successful at first. We might be rejected, misunderstood; we might try to be someone that we just can’t — and it hurts more than helps.

Anyhow, I see people like a Phoenix. We can rise from our own ashes up on fire. If you feel you failed, do something about it! Write about it, scratch about it! There’s no rules for what you feel.

No one can be as you are. You are unique, special. If you let yourself to, you can be the biggest explorer artist.
