Art And Expression

Art is not about perfection. It’s about passion. It’s about connection. 

If you feel something in your heart and you express it honestly, even if the delivery is a little rough, you will move people. You will touch their souls, because they will recognize something about themselves when they experience what you have shared.

If someone criticizes you or your expression, smile and nod and realize they don’t understand it. Perhaps they have not gone through an experience like the one that inspired you. But I guarantee that if, one day, they have a similar experience, they will understand exactly what you were trying to say. The meaning will come to them clearly and immediately. When that happens, they will realize that you knew what you were doing all along despite their lack of appreciation.

Be bold. Express those thoughts and ideas that are important to you, even if the expression is raw and unpolished, even if some people don’t understand it. Art does not have to be glamorous, nor does it have to be widely accepted. It just has to be real and heartfelt.
