I like to think of myself as an artist sometimes

Even though in reality I don't have even a quarter the talent as some street artisit I have seen. this just gives me the will power and emotional courage to make it through any home crafts projects or any art like venture at all really. A false feeling of security isn't always the enemy. Here I cruise through this and even like doing these things still too. I believe with too much forcfullness and high demands or expectations one is almost always set up for failure since none of us is perfect and we will fall short every time here. So try to let goand just have fun during these times in your life then you may always hold art dear to you this way. Keep it a young at heart experience for yourself and those around you and you usually come out with something everyone will enjoy for this too. I will always be thinking in the back corner of my own mind though however I am the very best at all of this LOL:)

It's not bad to throw high expectations for yourself as you will be more encouraged and inspired to reach those aims and goals. And it's also good to award yourself of something you know you deserve to have or even admit to yourself something you truly feel you acquire. :) I enjoyed reading your note as it entails full of positive notes and noteworthy regards. Have a great day!

I agree as long as you don't get let down just as low as you felt high about this high hope this can be so crushing and depressing a real blow to one's self esteem too. This is usually the big thing which holds me back mostly the possibility of rejections. I do remain upbeat about other ventures still however these other one's will wait for now until I am fully ready. Thanks,A.B.

Its ok to think of yourself as an artist. For me art is an expression, and its good to express ourselves, shout to the world what we feel. Its makes us happy and increases the self esteem. It doesnt matter if you think your not good. but I tell you, someone out there is gonna appreciate the work youve done.

Thanks, and I do believe in this too that different people see things in different ways and that somebody would indeed like what I have done too. I am one who thinks I am not very good even though others say that I am too. I may keep all of mine too myself for awhile then let it all out when I think the time right for me. You are a wonderful inspiration to me here thanks so very much too:)

art in any form is another case of beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I still can't believe the money some pay for art pieces , in the millions, and yet some people must like them, music is the same what some people like others hate, so long as you are happy with what you are doing that is all that matters...

Hi! Cheers to this. I myself also do this. I cannot draw like artist do. Sometimes it is frustrating and other times its funny. Although I really want to do these things but God has a purpose why he did not give me this talent but nevertheless I am still thankful because He gave me other skills. Every human is unique. Now I am diverting myself to something that I know I can do. I now indulge in photography and thank God I am happy with this. :))
