My opinion on art

I am a really big artist i love creating in any way shape or form!! my favorites are sketching/drawing and painting. As someone who throughly enjoys art not only as a hobby but as a tool of expression. I recommend everyone i know and encourage people around me to create; i think its something more people should prioritize- as crazy as that sounds. 

Most people tell me, "im not a good artist" "im not talented" and as someone whos told themselves the same words I've slowly come to realize how I really feel about what art is. At first I saw it as a competition, this person is better than me so I have to practice and get everything perfect to be seen for my work; is something i compelled a lot. Now I hold a different perspective, talent and skill has completely nothing to do with art. maybe to "professional" extents that might be important but art isnt meant to be judged, its meant to be appreciated. Because to me i am not looking for skill, something with completely no "skill" are art pieces i have found myself attracted to more and more. Why? because it breaks all of this expectation about art to be perfect; and honestly im also tired of my personal art to be judged and compared. Its meant to be freeing yet soooo manypeople love constricting it. SO STINKY AND BORING TO DO THAT!!!!!!!!!

I believe every person carries this ball of energy- their soul- within them. And no matter what type of art it is, wether its from editing a picture to a stone sculpture, all of it needs to exist. It keeps that individuals essence alive and captures it in a space in time. Its beautiful really. Even a stick figure works! even scribbles! even doodles. even tracing and photo smashing things you like on a page matters... Because its the fact that you chose it and you chose those colors and those lines. Its because its a fingerprint of who eaach person is at the end of the day and it is amazing. yes i wanna know whats in that head, what your brain compels you to create on a page. Do it!!! art = low cortisol art = release art = freedom

So instead of doomscrolling take 10 minutes out of your day and create something your brain will release serotonin from. extra points if its deeply meaningful and intertwined with you, aka vent art i love you. heres my contribution: 

(picture might not work lowk idk how to do this yet... ill upload it on my profile pictures if it dont work :p)

 Also, I love talking about individual energies and my theories on how the world works. Im not a professional or actually knowledgable but i definitely believe in it! idk if ppl are into that but i think about it a lot. if u like that too dont hesitate to tell me your thoughts :]
