“So you’re an artist then…”

Why I get annoyed when non-artistic people say this

“What are your hobbies?”

“Uhh playing guitar and doing the photography thing, I guess”

“Oh, you’re an artist then…”

And that’s the reason, why most of my dates completely fail. Most guys don’t seem to like artistic people; they’d rather date a barbie — someone, who thinks they’re all perfect and cool, being ‘in’ and all that shit. And that’s what I’m not.

For those, who were thinking about dating me: I’m not perfect, but I see myself as a work of art; not perfect, but unique. Even though I have got a very low self esteem, I’m okay with who I am; I am me and I’m not hiding it like most people do. Yes, I have problems (especially with my anxiety attacks) and I don’t know why my friends still support me (I can be a bitch most of the time and after the bitching part I become a manipulative fuck who’s trying to victimize themself), but I’m so glad they accept me for who I am. Most people don’t do that because I’m… different.

Especially artistic people are not that popular in my area. Everyone wants to be ‘normal’; have a ‘normal’ life with a ‘normal’ job. But let’S admit it: that’s boring!

I want to start a band, go on tour, travel the world and entertain people. Even if I’ll never be able to fulfill this dream, I’m not giving up. I don’t want to live a ‘normal’ life; I want to show everyone why I live. Because the only reason why I’m still alive is art.

Music, photography, everything. My life’s ruled by art. This is who I am; no one’s going to change that. And to those who don’t like artistic people just because they don’t want to get a ‘real’ job: your life must be so boring if you don’t listen to music at all.

I’m an artist. And I don’t want to be anything else.
