Everyone is an artist. Do not forget that your work is spectacular.
How much of an artist you are cannot, and is not, measured by the quality of your work in others' eyes. To be an artist is to express yourself in any way, shape, or form, no matter what others think of it. Your work is perfect and beautiful-no matter what anyone else has to say.
I've never agreed with 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.' It seems far to objective. Some people may see no beauty and will turn their in to harsh words turned against another. Instead, I prefer 'Beauty is in the eye of the creator.' It doesn't matter what others think of your work. You created something and that in its own right is beautiful. You've done what so many are far too fearful to try, and in doing so you have created beauty.
Never doubt your skills or compare it to others. Comparison is the thief of joy, and we all deserve to be happy with our own little pieces of beauty.

They tell me that you cannot win life
Without backstabbing and betrayal along the way,
No matter who you are inside or how honest you are.
But I believe this can only be this:
The world can only be changed if someone is willing to take the steps to change it. idoartguy----------
I'd watch as my history carbonized and charred,
then I would write myself a new one,
in which I didn't exist.
