My journey into the general nature of the arts began with an initial spark of curiosity and inspiration. Early on in life I was always drawn to the nature of visual, rhythmic, and written art; compelling books, evocative poems, and the messages and rhythms of numerous musical pieces. These various forms of art opened a door that allowed me to envision myself participating in these creative pursuits, which inevitably lead me to explore them on a deeper level. As time progressed, I developed better skills and mechanisms to pursue my love for the arts; these activities, or hobbies, became a mean of self-expression and introspection. Writing allowed me to articulate complex thoughts and emotions as in relation to reading which allowed me to see the multitude of perspectives in the world and how critical thinking and implications are important to truly understand the diverse meanings of one piece of literature. The richness and rigorous use of language and somewhat logic of poetry, offered a unique way to express intricate feelings, which honestly mirrors the affect of music on me as both creates a portal for vulnerability and freedom from the constraints of societal norms. The arts have become a lens in how I view life and essentially the meaning they enable me to engage with and truthfully reflect on cultural values, societal norms, and my own beliefs and ideologies. My hobbies are not just hobbies they are me I am both influenced and I influence the broader cultural spectrum of the arts and its impact on life meanings, allowing me to find a deeper sense of being and harmony with myself and others. Fundamentally, the arts serve as a vital framework through which I position myself in life: how I navigate, comprehend, and enrich my experiences as I transverse through this complicated state known as life.
