Being an artist. What does it mean? What is an artist supposed to do? How does one survive? How does one exist?

Is it someone who experiences life and then recreate that through a medium? Is it someone who shows the world their skills? Is it just someone with creative ideas?

Or is it maybe just a label?

Is it what you do that defines you? Or is it who you are, that defines what you do?

What defines me? Is it my experience? What about my personality? My emotions, my line of thinking, my mistakes, my insight, my dreams, my karma…?

It’s the whole mix that makes us who we are. But still, who and what am I?

Must I be someone? Must I, at all, be? How does one know ones identify? How do I decode all the information, how do I gather all of it into an answer?

And will I ever find it?
