You don’t have time for me? You’re too tangled up in your own life and your friends? You want to do this by yourself? You want to “live” your life?

Okay, that’s fine. I understand.

A couple years from now, when you’re stuck here, expect me to not have time for you. Expect me to be living my life; really living it. Expect me to be fully successful without you. Expect me to gain that success completely on my own through hard work. Expect to be left behind. And better yet, don’t expect anything from me. I’ll be too far gone, too high up, too distant from this place for you to even get close.

See ya.

I love art because it teaches me. It allows me to find inspiration and beauty in the least likely of things, places, situations, and people.
