My passion for Art

Greetings to everyone, so about my well being I successfully entered class 12th after passing all the hurdles of class 11th which means I am a high school senior now but only on outside. All I can say is not a great start, nobody but who suffers can understand. So was it difficult? Yes it was after the situation we all faced previous year but that doesn't mean it makes anything easier right? Because now I have to put twice the efforts. So is it still stressful? Yes it is and the present circumstances aren't really favorable but I don't want to burden myself with unnecessary worries or regretting on things that cant be changed or haven't even happened yet instead now I am focusing on what is still possible for me to do. At least I don't want to give up without trying so that I don't feel guilty or regret in future. Also its hard to satisfy everyone but more important is self satisfaction. There is nothing perfect in this world that's what life is about. Every problem has a solution but sometimes we just cant see it or don't want to see it. How long are we to stay in denial? We still have to fulfill our duties. Difficulties don't come after knocking at our doors, we should always be prepared for it. I learned to to be happy and enjoy small things happening around me and trying to neglect the things that shouldn't matter to me anymore. Also I am trying not to take things for granted and being focused at my aim, staying positive and motivated. 12th boards does seem unimaginable and nobody knows how bright will be my future. Yet I can only worry about the process and not the result, somethings should just be left on time. I want to be grateful for the lots that god has given and not complain about what I don't have. God gives us the challenges that only we can handle and overcoming them makes us stronger. Everything happens for a reason and is directly or indirectly interconnected which keeps a balance in the world. Everyone has to fight their own battles. The world has many sufferings and my worries seem so small compared to all those prominent problems but I keep wondering will this chaos ever end? Because I really do wish to relax and have peace of mind, move on to a different phase and do something else; learn, explore and experience something new; be alone and independent/away from rush; I feel stuck in a mess that doesn't seem to end, it lasted too long though how long now? Does it sound like I am running from my responsibilities and escape reality? I realized all that tension isn't even worth it. I don't need to prove anything to anyone I just have to follow my heart. After all we live our own lives and are responsible for our own choices why judge, compare or even mind others? If we want to see difference in our lives or in the world lets start from ourselves first, you might feel what is it going to change but to someone it will mean the whole world. Nobody's sure how you ace this thing called life, nobody has ever lived a perfect life and that is the point each one of ours is unique even though not satisfying this why it keeps us going in the hope maybe we change our destiny perhaps with our efforts and create wonders giving us a purpose then you just keep going forward without looking back or thinking about unnecessary things and you end up doing something significant.

There are many things to learn from past experiences. You get rid of one problem, new one arises; its a never ending cycle. It does feel hard but we can try to keep up. We should wish for happiness and nothing else because money and success cant always be the deciding factor, it's our dreams and passion. Here are my personal favorite songs matching to the vibe~

Innocent                                    million to one                      cheap thrills                     I see the light

On the ground                           speechless                            Let it go                            Titanium


 "ART IS A LANGUAGE THAT DOES NOT NEED TO BE TRANSLATED"

Since childhood I have always liked drawing and painting; art and craft. Drawing increases brain function. Art play an important role in mental development and it increases the creative skills of the mindIt also relaxes the mind. It makes you more happy and resilient. It also improves your memory. We all need to choose something as our hobby that we are passionate about. Without passion, all our efforts to do something creative go into the vein. Developing a hobby is very useful to keep focus and concentration, avoids procrastination also removes distraction because you give your mind and soul to it. I like to paint in my free time, it gives me satisfaction whenever I see something beautiful I add it to my bucket list  I have tried paintings using different types of colours and mediums like gouache, water colour, pencil colours, soft pastels and sand paper, oil pastels and pencil sketches. I aim at versatility and perfection. I have also tried many varied forms of art styles but I have yet to try alcohol ink, mandala art, acrylic paint, sanguine and charcoal, oil paints. One day it occurred to me that may be I should share my some of the best paintings with my viewers for inspiration or reference.

Reading is a very good habit that one needs to develop in life. Good books can inform you, enlighten you and lead you in the right direction. There is no better companion than a good book. Reading develops language skills and vocabulary and is also a way to relax and reduce stress. Also I really like reading novels so I would like to share some good and must read book titles with everyone ~
