This is for you.

Yes, you.

This is for you, who would always say that you weren't 'good enough'

This is for you, who would always wish that you were as good as them.

Sometimes, you throw your pencil across the room in frustration when you realize that you'll never be an artist.

I understand.

Remember when you told yourself that art was a passion that you would never let go?

But yet, it's slipping between your fingers, right now.

You want, so desperately, to be an accomplished artist.

But you never believe in yourself.

It's painful, I know.

But isn't art worth it?

Maybe you just don't know the meaning of being an artist.

It doesn't matter what you do, or how skilled you are.

The fact that you love art, is all that matters; and that's what makes you a true artist.

Don't you remember your art bringing you so much joy?

Now, it seems to do the complete opposite.

It seems like demons are haunting you, telling you that you're 'not good enough'.

You want to know what I say to that?

Crush them.

Crush the demons in your soul that bring you down.

Don't worry, you have the whole community of artists standing behind you.

Art means something different to every person.

That's what makes it so special.

 

This is for you, who would cry yourself to sleep each night, wondering why you 'sucked' at art.

You don't.

All you really need is faith.

And maybe, just maybe, you'll discover the true meaning of art.

Hold on.

Please.

Just something that sprang to my mind. This is for all the artists out there that never think they're good enough.
