Create like your art can be the beauty somebody needs to face this life for one more day— because it just might be. Art can save us all, and that starts with ourselves. Art, for me, has always been about survival. To seek these glimmers of light in such a dark place as my mind is medicine that has no rival. Let your art be quiet in the noise. Let your art be warmth in the rain. Let your art be comfort to those who seek shelter in your expression of the soul. If there is a way to take the fire within you and share it with the world, there is someone longing to feel that flame. For all the wrath of loneliness and feeling misunderstood, there are kind eyes and open arms waiting to fill you with hope. For all the shouts of self doubt swarming in your skull, there are gentle words encouraging you to press on. Try to cling to the beauty. Try to let the haze fade away. Try to make art that makes you feel alive. Try to remember the passion you used to have when art was the only thing you had, and share your beauty like you have everything to lose.
