To create

For as long as you can remember, it's never been enough to just experience this world as an observer. You aren't satisfied merely consuming the work of others. This world is rife with inspiration. You can't look at it without wanting to bring something of your own into it. It's not enough just to experience it, you have to depict those experiences, the ideas they inspire in you. Your feelings and thoughts churn inside you, begging to be given shape. You are full to the point of overflowing and you'll burst if you don't get it out somehow. You are a born artist, someone who can't live without creating something of their own along the way. Perhaps you wish there was some way you could pour this entire existence out into your work, engrave your entire being into something that will outlive you. There is a universe inside you and your greatest fear might just be dying before you can get it all out. So, don't let yourself be held back by fears of inadequacy. It's very vulnerable, to share yourself with the world as an artist does. Fear is only natural, but don't let it be what stops you. You're here to create what no one else can, to bring out into the world all the ideas you'd otherwise take to the grave. You are a person who will never exist twice, a human who will never walk this earth as you do now again. This life is an opportunity to do what no one else can do for you. So, don't waste it holding yourself back from creating the art that couldn't exist without you. Write, draw, sculpt, sing, do whatever it is you want to do! Even if it's clumsy, even if it doesn't turn out exactly like you wanted, you will have made something no one else can. No matter how many similar ideas others have, no one else will execute them exactly like you. The fruits of your hands can't be replicated. However subtle, they have a touch that no one else can imitate, your own unique fingerprint. What could be more worth devoting your life to, than bringing into this world that which couldn't exist without you?
