I believe in art.

I just felt like writing something.....

Zigzagging, jotting, dotting, and cross crossing is a form of self- expression. I am able to express myself loosely without any restraints, besides an occasional brain freeze.

My lines form a variation of letters that make-up sentences. These sentences tell my story, which depicts my message. My image. My vision. My point.

When I was an adolescent, I wrote poems expressing my feelings. I used descriptive words such as mad, glad, happy, and sad. My voice was limited along with a pocket-sized vocabulary. But eventually, the words became idiosyncratic, energetic, exultant, and triumphant.

My knowledge of the English language has matured; I am able to turn extended sentences into remote statements, such as:

I believe in the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.

-into-

I believe in art.
