"she is art"

short essay

Art on the body.

- What does it mean?

- What does what mean?

- Your tattoo, “she is art”.

- Oh. Nothing much, just liked it.

Thats a lie, it does mean a lot.

Art doesnt have to be pretty to be appreciated.

Art doesnt have to make sense to be loved.

It is a universal language, where everyone can find a meaning behind it.

I always loved arts, in every shape and form. I loved looking at it, and I loved making it.

Behind every piece, there is a story- their story.

A very few people have this “talent” to create or the will to understand it, but I did.

I went through a lot. A lot of dark phases, thoughts, whatever. And the only thing that could bring my smile back was when I lost myself in this universe. A universe with no boundaries, no limits, no rules.

I use to think I could never get better, but in that place, everything is possible. And if everything is possible, getting out of this darkness could also be. So I stayed there, created about everything, my deepest thoughts, thoughts that I would never dare say out loud. So I wrote them, I drew them, I painted them. All these thoughts were who I was. So every pieces I created was part of the dark story that was my life. They were parts of me. They are parts of me.

Before getting this tattoo I talked about it with someone.

I cant lie, I dont remember much about the conversation but I do remember one comment they made.

“its pretty narcissistic to consider yourself as art, isnt it?”

Pretty narcissistic. It was interesting. I thought a lot about it, not reconsidering it in any kind. I just thought how pessimistic and sad that person must’ve been to turn such a beautiful sentence into something negative.

Anyways. Find me egocentric or think whatever you want, I honestly dont care. I do believe I am art. I believe a lot of people are.

Everyone has a story to tell, a place they came from to arrive where they are now.

I have a story, but that isnt the point now. The point is that my story made me who I am.

I am art.
