Wouldn’t it be nice?

I would honestly love to be more creative. I really envy those who can paint, draw, sculpt, photograph and all those who perform various interesting art forms.

Artists express themselves so beautifully; it must be such a relief to be able to get your emotions out in a form that soothes and is therapeutic. Pouring your energy (negative and positive) into a creation is quite impressive.

It must feel good as an artist to know people actually care about your work, follow what you do, cherish your expressions. Most of the time in this life I feel as though no one is even listening to what I am saying. They have that glistening look in their eyes like they couldn’t care less. You all know what I mean, like what you are saying has nothing of importance to them whatsoever! It’s very rare to come by a good listener, someone who is not thinking of something else while you are talking. I suppose we are all guilty of it. Maybe being aware is the first step to becoming a good listener!

I suppose in such a fast pace world it is hard to slow down your constant thoughts of what you have to do next. I love the French culture where conversation is still an art and people converse quite frequently over many different topics. My boyfriend is from France and he taught me this. We honestly never run out of things to talk about and even the smallest of details are not left out. It took me a while to get used to hearing all the details, but it is worth it when I get a good listener in returnJ

Since I can’t paint, draw, make music, etc. maybe I can learn to master the art of conversation-the only problem is having someone to talk to!!

Keep listening peeps, you’ll probably learn something new and interesting once and a while-not to mention make someone feel good that they are heard and listened too!

Hum... I think you are very good at the art of conversation already! I can hardly have a conversation with you under 5 minutes. Your feedback is always insightful and I always feel listened to... It is true that most people are always waiting to talk, you can even tell if you watch them while you are talking, lol. I would say cherish those who do take the time to listen to you, its not quantity, its quality :)

As for art, it doesn't always come naturally... i took lots of classes in my childhood, Sophy took photography classes. Classes give you the tools to express yourself, you should try, we could even do it together!!
