Art

I think what really makes us different, distinguishes us from each other, is our art. Art in the sense of anything that you create, anything that comes out of you, and is truly yours, and you can truthfullly say that there is nothing in the world like it. I believe that that is what makes us unique. Our art. And the beauty of it is that your art is something only you can understand. The driving force behind that piece of art is so deeply embedded within your being that no one else can extract it. No matter how hard you try to explain it to someone else, they'll always have a slightly different interpretation, a twist on what you consider to be your reality. And that is the reason why no one can really truly ever understand you, becuase they can never truly understand your art the way you would like them to.

I think every single person who has ever TRIED to do something, anything, that is of their own is an artist. You dont have to be good at what you do, your art is just something that you couldn't live without.

For me, its acting. I dont think I could ever survive without that adrenaline rush that comes when you're on stage, when you feel totally naked, because you're about to give your all, everything you have, your whole essence of being, to an audience. I feel like I'm exploring all the facets of myself when I act. I dont do it to get into someone else's skin, I do it so that I can fully get into MY skin, so I can truly understand what makes me.

The most beautiful thing about art for me is its uniqueness. A million songs have been sung thus far, and no two of those sound exactly the same. Billions of essays have been written, and they're all something completely different. The ability for us, as humans, to come up with such variations, such beautiful streams that start from the same source but end up taking their own paths, that all seem to be similar but are completely different, connects us to something greater, something more profound. We turn from the creatED to the creatORS, spurning out as diverse and beautiful strings as our creator has done for us.
