Why art?

People often ask me why art, especially those who have known me for a long time now.
Through this post I want to share with the world and myself (future me) of why I want to pursue arts.

Since childhood I have not been vocal about things, very rarely do I get angry with people, with myself or the conditions around me. I have carried that to my adulthood and I believe it is there to stick.

With art I have total freedom of the way I express myself ( I would have tried words, but I am not very good at it and intense emotions/ some other emotions are hard to express in words), People like me who are not vocal enough have a chance to connect with people around the world through art, To know that someone somewhere will connect with my art is an exciting feeling, knowing someone somewhere out there feels as you do.
I am a quite person and would like to stay the same at least for a while.

In Art I find my expression and connect with people which other fields fail to provide me, In Art I find joy, freedom.
I know not if I made any sense but to me it is crystal clear maybe it is a perceptive thing after all as art is My perception of this world, I record what I see, observe, feel around me as writers do with words I do with a brush.

After being too much analytical, anal about things and too much into computers I have found a new home. For some reason I could never find peace among numbers, some people do. Maybe what art is to me is what numbers is to them. :)

Thank you for reading this

A letter to me 5 years from now.

Here's a letter to me 5 years from now

Hey Paresh,

hope you are doing good, a certain someone told you to write this letter for 'yourself' 5 years from now, hope you remember 5 years from now who it was that told you to do so.

Now coming to the point, let me first go over how 2018 went, I realized a lot this year, maybe a bit too much heh, about life, relations, people, body, music, art. I hope and continue to draw and plan to become an artist 5 years from now and learn some music instrument hopefully a piano(keyboard).
I also started with Russian language. :)

This is a picture of me from 2013

This is how I look in 2018

(I definitely look happier now haha)
Now the goals I want to achieve in 5 years from now
Learn to draw
Become an artist (traditional/ digital)
Learn to play an instrument
Get in a relationship
Do 5 good things a year

Though by far and wide this is not an exhaustive list, I have plenty more things to do + deal with all the ups and downs that come my way *sigh*, Anyone reading this, you should make a 5 years from now goal list too and share it with me in the comments :)
