Being an artist comes with a price: high sensivity and extreme emotions, that can make life very much demanding.
Artists are individuals with very high sensitivity, and their art serves as a channel for their perceptions and emotions.
This very high sensitivity that allows me to savor life's tiniest details can become a blade that pierces my heart when I'm in an environment that doesn't align with my true self.
The harsh reality of being an artist is this: you get to experience life at its extremes. Extreme joy and extreme sadness. Extreme love and extreme hatred. Extreme peace and extreme rage. Extreme courage and extreme fear. Extreme connection and extreme loneliness.
Is it worth it? I don't know. I simply know that being an artist is who I am, and I cannot change that.
