These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

Do you know what my favorite thing in the whole world is? Art. Every kind.

I spent the entire day painting. I am not a legendary artist by any means. I just like to paint fun things. But I honestly have not felt this relaxed in a long time. It has been a great day.

Pictures can sometimes be more beautiful than real life. A real photographer can see the beauty in the world that oftentimes is overlooked and develop in a way that is overwhelming. It takes a true artist to do that.

I love words. I know that I have mentioned that I am a writer and that I love to read too. But I really love listening and hearing. It doesn't matter where the words are. A song, a magazine, a book, a television show. They are words and I love and respect them for everything they offer my life.

Which brings me to music. I almost obsess over all kinds. Live or otherwise. Every genre. When I listen, I can hear every instrument involved and I can imagine what the artists were feeling when they wrote it and how they feel every time they play it. My favorite feeling is when you are at a concert and you get so rapt in the music that eventually the steady pulsation of the bass begins to coincide with the rhythmic beating of your heart. Nothing can top that.
