Make art
First let’s define art. For me, art = doing things for the sake of doing them. Anything can be a form of art. Writing. Painting. Debating. Riding a bike. Dancing to your favourite song. Filmmaking. Singing. Podcasting. Whatever. As long as you’re doing it because you enjoy doing it, it’s art.
An easy way to figure out if something is art to you is if you lose yourself in the process. For example: When I’m writing these blogs, I fall into it. I don’t check the time, I forget to eat, and I forget the problems in my life. It’s like my body ceases to exist - I feel one with the words on the screen. I don’t write to make money or to persuade you or to sell my idea. I write because I love the process. I write because it’s good for my soul.
Just a friendly reminder to make art if you haven’t done it in a while. I wish someone reminded me this earlier.
