How To Know You're An Artist

Dear Upa,
                
             You're right. Art is an absolutely subjective entity, and it is different for you and me. To some, an artist may be someone who simply draws and paints for fun or as a profession. To me, at least, art is a very abstract concept. For me, an artist is a creator. It is someone who creates something out of nothing, and who feels like they have magic shooting out of their fingertips when they produce something they really care about. Drawing and painting is like a shade of colour in the wide spectrum that is art, there is so much more to it. So basically, even though not everybody is good in manoeuvring a paintbrush (and, like me, can't even paint their nails without it looking like a disaster) in their own way, anybody can be an artist. And so, for me at least, you definitely are one. Being like Nozaki Kun is epic because he created magic out of something he cared about. 
That's a lot like you.

In other news, time is passing so quickly! I literally just came back and so much has already happened. I genuinely feel like I was asleep for the past 16 years and now suddenly I’m shaken out of my slumber rather roughly and am now expected to DO stuff. I feel like I live in two cities right now and that is a complicated feeling to have. Since when did things get so complicated? We lived such a calm and peaceful life when we watched movies every week and ate lots of food and lived together. Why, life. After all, I’m just a simple farmer cosplaying a trashcan, why do these things happen to me.
If you haven’t guessed yet, I’m in one of my mad moods.

I will never let you crumble.

Bye for now,



Aditi.
