i am a Virgo. over analytical, busy, worriers, OCD, smart, overall a mess but if we care, we care a lot. if you know me, those qualities apply to me very well.
yes, i believe in astrology and it has always been a huge part of my life. my aunt is big about it, and it's honestly been a part of my family for a long time too. it makes sense & is dear to me.
about a year ago, my friend sent me this quote she found on tumblr because i'm a Virgo and she knows i'm into that stuff.
"VIRGO: darling, you should surround your room with plants and flowers and life to remind you of what you are every morning when you wake up, because you are art and life and color. but in a different way than most people, and i think that's pretty damn cool. you're so you, and you should embrace that more. if there's something you want to change, something you just want to do, just go ahead and follow your pretty mind. the path you walk on will be paved with sunshine."
that struck me real hard because music, art, and literature have always been ways i have used to express myself.
art...
i am art.
hence my tattoo that says "art". it's a reminder & placed on my left side... close to my heart.
whether i am a Monet (pretty from far away, a mess up close), a Picasso (plain on jumbled, brilliant, abstract mess), or a Michael Angelo (beautiful, put together master piece) that day, or even that whole week, month, year etc... it doesn't matter.
i am art either way and that makes every emotion, every experience that originates from me a piece of my painting, my story.
art is valuable. art is worth it, and so am i.
"you are a work of art. not everyone will understand you, but the ones who do, will never forget about you."
now every time i look in the mirror or feel my heart beat, there is a reminder of just that.
& that's important
