People who suffer as helpless puppets, captured by unrelenting strings connected to the master hand of emotions, tend to use these feelings to create. Drawing, writing, singing... Art in general is made of emotions.
Emotions are very raw. Any attempt from humans to channel emotions causes some of it to be lost. How much of it lost depends on the person being the medium. Each person is better at sharing their feelings through certain ways than others. Physically speaking, my abilities are writing>singing>art (I think). Mentally speaking, I am more like art>singing>writing.
Every time we channel our emotions into a work, something gets lost in translation. Due to how personalized emotions are, we must change a thing or two here and there for other people to understand. What words, colors, shapes, sounds, do people associate with this feeling? How can I show other people what I am feeling?
I guess... in essence, that's why people do art. They want to show what they're feeling. If other people know what they're feeling, then they don't feel so alone. People understand.
I wish there was a way to respond to posts with buttons that're like, "I LIKE THIS" or "I AGREE" because I feel like I either really agree with or can relate to all of your recent posts.
