"Art Over Matter"

Here on the left side of the room lies a blank sheet of paper on a table with an ink pen. Doesn't seem like anything exciting until you combine them. Now, here's a dictionary. Just a book of words, right? On the contrary, it's a book that breathes life into the writer, enabling them to write continuously until they become wearied.

On the right side of the room, there are a few paint brushes, a wooden easel and a canvas. To someone with little to no interest sees this only as basic art supplies, but to you it's a masterpiece waiting to be created.

This is your calling, your passion, your reason for existence. It is the only thing that makes you feel fearless. When that pen hits that paper and you begin to spill your soul onto it, you feel no pain, you come alive, you are in your own world now. You're isolated.

When that paint brush introduces itself to the colors that give your painting meaning, and collides with the once blank canvas, you're now in the process of creating a blueprint for your interpretation of what art believes reality is.

You can find most of the answers to your questions about life in quotes, artwork and literature. So I encourage you to channel your creative side, because you'll start to see that all of your problems in life compared to art, are miniature.
