Freshman year, I was to write an Artist Statement, which states

why we create art. Being the procrastinator that I am, I wrote it the night before it was due. Regardless of its poor composition, the content could be summed up in these few sentences. (one of these days I will put the full thing up)
I create to Worship.
I create because that is how I process life.
I create to help the world appreciate the ordinary, and see the beauty in everyday things that would be normally overlooked.
This Thanksgiving break I was able to spend time with my grandmother. I had realized that I

really knew nothing about her apart from a few details here and there. I had
known my grandma for my entire life and appreciated her presence in my life. I was intentional about talking to her about her life, joys, struggles, and goals. After talking for a few hours, questions were answered and a new level of relationship was reached. I have a new respect for her , know why she does certain things, and appreciate her that much more.

I encourage everyone to make an effort to learn more about the people that they are close to and love, I will deepen your relationship and help you be more transparent yourself.
Around my grandma's pool she has a small garden. One would normally look out and not even notice it, if anything they might notice the flowers. There are gems out there. The leaves, the less attractive part of the plant are, in my opinion, the most beautiful.
