God, listening to the song I have listed while I wrote this, made this sound so much more epic..

Ever since last year I haven't really felt motivated to do any drawings, photoshop work, painting, etc (ANYTHING CREATIVE)and I've been a bit down. Slowly and surely though I've been drawing again, but I didn't feel much purpose, until today. Browsing through the old work of mine on here I looked from when I first started here and stopped when I looked at some of my acen stuff. A conversation under one of my works was from a girl who was interested in buying some bookmarks if she came across my table. I still remember meeting that girl and how excited she seemed. Her genuine excitement made me feel so gushy that I gave her the ones she wanted for free. Remembering that today, brings me back to the same gushing feeling. I LOVE THAT FEELING. I realize now that is why I do art. I get that feeling when I look at my favorite artist's work that just takes my breath away and leave me wanting to be better. I want to be that good some day where I can inspire others to catch up to me.

A teacher once told me that as artists, we have the capability of controlling the media and thus controlling the world. I'm not saying my art will one day change the world, but if I can get the world to take a glance at it and feel intense emotion when they see it, I think I'll have lived a life worth living.

I just want to inspire.

(without the song, I just seem hella ghei)
