There are a couple of topics that I must write about because for some reason, these topics have been glued to my mind and its for a great reason. First topic. Appearance versus reality. Two weeks ago my english class read The Ministers Black Veil and it did not hit me until Sunday. When I was reading the passage, I questioned if people would frown down upon others in today society if one emerged away from conformity. In the passage, the minister wore a black veil. Why? Who knows exactly why. People assumed that the minister was hiding sin and keeping secrets as he was ashamed of his sin. He did not care about others opinions; thus, he continued to wear the veil. His appearance strengthen peoples views on the minister as most were negative, but he was able to get people's attention. Sunday I walked around town with leopard prints on the right side of my face. Why? Well, you will see in my next post. People stared and wondered why I had leopard prints on my face. Society tells us to be different and that different is good; however, reality says one shouldn't do their own thing. Which brings me over to art school. Why are people so against me going to college and majoring in art? I have my passion and I am grasping on to it for dear life sake. Lesson I learned last week: Don't question humanity. I am happy. Just be happy for me. I know art is not a safe road to travel on but this is life. I have one life to live and I am going to make this count. Are you scared because art is diverging from the expected norms of society? "Be a doctor, be a lawyer, you need to make money" Am I foolish for not even caring about money right now? Maybe. Conformity is overrated.
Next topic, I am determined to make YOU, yes you! I have no idea who is reading this but I am motivated, driven, and I will make YOU perceive life differently.I feel a ton of baggage when I see people in distress and despair because it is out of my control and I cannot do anything to make someone feel something they don't want to feel. I found my peace and although my heaven can get pretty hectic, I am happy. I want people to be happy to. Smile, you're on my blog:) <<<<I have probably over used this phrase in my blog but oh well. Let me continue, everyone in this world has a story and every face we encounter has had an upside down smile, a shattered heart, and cried a river. Remember that before you are too hard on someone. Everyone on this earth is fighting their own battle. Life will never be perfect. If you are searching for perfection the closest thing you will find is a perfect mess. Happy accidents. I've been telling myself this since September and look where I am now. You have to choose to look at life through the rose colored lens and just decide it is time to start living. All I can do is let you see life through my window and if you life the view, you can move in next door to me and we can enjoy the view together.
