Where Have I Been? Where Are We Going?
I have been to places that make me realise that not all of us can believe in ourselves. I have read biographies of people I admire who have always known that they will achieve something; I have seen people take beating after beating but still have an inner strength to continue with their goal; but I have seen people who sometimes feel that they cant get up in the morning, cant express themselves through art or in the way they want to; people who spend their time admiring those who do while not doing anything themselves. I have seen both these people and feel frustrated, guilty and angry that I do not fit into either category. I get up in the morning; I do rather than think; I (at least try to) express myself through my art but I dont however believe in myself
We are all going different paths some are pushing themselves further and further away from being average and others further and further away from doing what could make them happy.
These paths need to meet and help each other, help those high-flyers to really appreciate what they have and how they can give to others and those who lack confidence a strength to push forward. I want to use art to help people realise that they CAN do something about absolutely anything. They CAN believe in a future AND in themselves. And perhaps it will help me do the same
