artistic people
last night i realized that the greater majority of good conversations I've had, have been with people who are somehow artistic. I find myself wanting to be around thinkers and individuals, not because I'll be one by assosciation, but because I like being around people who are. I like the subtlties of humanity and exsistence, i like the works of writers, musicians, cinematographers, and artists who do too. I think there is something to be said about the people whose art has greatly impacted those outside of the artistic community. I think of people like Betty Smith and Stephen Chbosky, I think of people like Ben Gibbard, Chris Carrabba, and John Foreman, I think of the John Donnes, Emily Dickonsons, A.E.'s. I think I'm growing to like my friends better than I have. Distance, and circumstance can be difficult things to cope with, but in the end they make embrace and visitation quite sweet.
