What's Your Art?

Everyone has one, what's yours?

What's Your Art?
Google

Everyone has an art; a skill. Something that makes them unique and stand out in the world. Sometimes, that art is found early in life. It is easily discovered and evident to everyone.

However, for others, it may take years to unearth what it is they are good at. Great at. What it is that makes them who they are.

The art you possess may not be what you expect it to be, but sometimes that’s the most beautiful part; learning something about yourself that you never saw coming.

Finding your art and searching for your art are very different things. It’s like the saying goes, a watched pot never boils – time feels so much longer when searching for something to happen. When you find what you’re best at, it will happen when you least expect it.

There are so many things on the internet, and in society, that try to tell us what we should do, what we should be good at, and when we should find our niche. However, half the fun of finding what it is that makes you who you are is discovering it on your own.

Searching through social media outlets and across the web to validate something about who you are is only doing one thing; selling yourself short. Never settle for anything, especially when it comes to unveiling a part of who you are.

By just living every day with the mindset that you are here for a reason brings you one step closer to finding your art.

Our art should be something we are proud of; something that others know solely because we radiate it through our being every day.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
