Thoughts.

I think that it's good to feel sad inside sometimes. What would we be if we were perpetually content? Sure, life would be fine all of the time. There would never be a suicide. Death would not make us sad. When a relationship was over, we would move on in an instant, and never think about it again. There would be no therapy, self-mutilation, depression, anything sad. But would life be real? Would we be able to feel those intense feelings like love or pure happiness? If there was no sadness, would we know what it's like to really feel? (I've been watching Pleasantville, by the way).

I think that people don't really know what art is. Art is not what's popular, or what everyone likes or thinks is cool. Art is something that makes you feel. Makes you feel something deep down inside of yourself, something that you've never felt before. Art unlocks feelings. Music, drawings, paintings, sculpture, movies, literature, it all is art. Truly good art is something that makes you feel sorrow, longing, wonder, joy. Art is beautiful.
