A Living Is So Big story
LIVING IS SO BIG... Art Expression
As I was at work today and the store was totally slammed, I was super stressed. I almost made my own mood worse just thinking about it. However, I started to think about things that I really enjoy. For me, some of the ways I remind myself of happiness, is self-expression through art of any kind. Writing, Painting, Singing, Creating. Bringing life to an idea that was thought up in my head is probably where I get a higher sense of accomplish and overall happiness.
There's a very spiritual aspect to it all.
Drawing: When I think of something in my head, and I place my pencil to my sketch pad, and start drawing, I feel so relieved, that I can do something peaceful and bring to life a new design or character. Then there's the coloring, which...let's face it... Coloring is just plain fun! :)
Writing: When I write, I'm always telling a story, either my own, or the story of a world I've dreamed up. Or when I write songs, that always helps me get my thoughts organized, and on the page so that I can have a clear mind.
Singing: Whenever you sing, whether you're okay at it, or very gifted, or what ever skill level, you put your soul into it, because you're having fun. It's uplifting and another great window for self expression.
In conclusion. When I do any of these things, I feel the burdens of my day lifting and it just makes everything a little brighter, one note, one line, and one word at a time. :)
