It is all happening....

Like Penny Lane said in my favorite movie, Almost Famous, "It is all happening.". It is a very vague and broad term, but in my life it really is "all happening", from moving back in with my mom to waiting for my answer to Pratt Institute. Everything sort of happens for a reason and to tell you the truth, I am very happy for that. Go with the flow because the flow is the way to go, some people say. Although they may be right for the most part, I think our own flows are created through our gut feelings and knowing when to strike while the iron is hot, so to speak. We are put here on this earth to create our own happenings in our lives. I had this crazy art teacher once who said to me, "when you paint you are connecting with the universe and the universe tells you what to do." and now, I apply that theory to my own life and not just paint. My life has become my canvas and every move that I make becomes a brush stroke. Depending on the way I move, creates the whole picture towards what my life will eventually look like. Is is going to be a distinctive Rembrandt or an abstract Monet? Or is it going to be something all my own? I hope one day my foundation for my canvas will be complete and I can start filling in my own techniques. Foundations are very important to any painting, they provide the structure and basis, of which, is the artists intention. The intention is the most important, because it states the theme of the work of art, or in this case, my life. Themes are particularly hard to come by, there have been soo many...why would one want to be like the other? My message is going to be very different and inspiring to those who don't have their own theme. Something that people can look and learn from, to make the world better, to inspire those who have no inspiration. I want people to look back on my life fondly and say, "She had a vision that changed the lives of many.". In a world like today, full of war, anger, racism, hate, and God knows what else, I feel that it is in my civil duty as an occupant of this planet, to create something beautiful and different, that just fucking says something, where it seems like everything now means nothing. It isn't that I'm being cynical, its that I want people to believe again, believe in the beauty of life and all that it has planned for us.
