Artists: you have a gift that enables connection and empathy. You also may carry a lot of pain that is paired with your deep understanding of humanity that you so bravely choose to share with those who are searching and those who are lost . You shine love through abstract yet relatable mediums. you just kind of get it. You draw from your deep emotional well of experience, of joy, pain, and confusion. We all go through it, but artists are able to shed light on parts of life that are too dark to see. This gift is beautiful and it hurts a lot, but make a choice right now to use it. To keep shedding light. Dont turn off your own light that shines so brightly, that teaches you about yourself and others about the world. It hurts to understand this life. Transcend that pain to enlighten those who live in the dark. The pain of understanding cannot be your end. Use it to love. Rest in Power Robin Williams. Im sorry life was too difficult to take. To the next generation of artists: take it anyway. The good and the bad. And one day the world will be better
