Appreciating The Arts

Seabear

I've always loved art, but never really realized how many different forms of art there is. I'm starting to really open my eyes more often, to see what art catches my attention. 
Music is one of my favorites. I can't just pick one genre. From Indie, to rock, to alternative, to screamo, my ears will enjoy almost any rythmically moving music. My most recent favorite is Seabear, an indie-folk band from Iceland. They are awesome! Really chill music. I've always adored the way music can tell a story, and find words we sometimes can't. I prefer stuff that forces imagination, and helps escape this dreary world at times. I stay away from as much love music as I can. It's usually really depressing. TheVisual Arts are always a treat. Any form of art requires ideas, and usually talent. I wish I could play a guitar, or the piano, but that's just not what my good God decided to make me good at. Instead, all you need to do is give me a pencil and paper, and I'll pour my heart out on it. I love remaking what I see, in a 2D image.
 I also have friends who are really talented, and I always love seeing what they make. It's nice to surround yourself with people who have big imaginations, and don't let their creativity die. Another favorite is Writing. I love to write, and I could do it for hours and hours (just like I can talk for hours). I usually write to just express what I'm feeling or thinking, and it really helps when I just want to vent. I'd love to write a book someday. Something I usually do is, "Letters to God." It's my way of praying to God. I have a hard time grabbing all my thoughts, and concentrating. It's a really good way to have a relationship with him, and really feel like he's more than just a far away ruler, but a a best friend who lay close to your heart. Wherever you find art, make sure to take the time to appreciate it, and enjoy it.
