I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU’RE AN ARTIST

I love you because you’re an artist.
I love you because you can’t not.
I love you because you have a message and you’re not afraid to share it.
I love you because even though you’re a fucking GUN at making money (when you GTF out of your own way and let it FLOW) what you REALLY care about?

The art baby.
It was always about the art. It’s ONLY about the art.

I love you because as an artist you’re also a particular kind of crazy which only those of us with it in us can see and understand.

I love you because I understand your turmoil, and what you’re doing to yourself, and why.

I love you for your addictions –
Your sabotage –
Your MESS –
The stuff which you think makes you weak-willed –
Undisciplined –
WRONG –

Do you know what I see, when I see you doing this? When you tell me about it, with shame, with frustration, with despair?

I see an artist.
Trapped.
Soul bound.
Not born for this world.

I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU’RE AN ARTIST AND NOT FOR THIS WORLD.

I love you because we are so fucking rare.
There are so few of us ACTUALLY.
There are many who try, who copy, who want.
There are SO God damn few who are actually.
I love you because I look at you, and I see –

THAT YOU AND WHAT YOU ARE MADE OF WILL TRANSCEND TIME AND SPACE.

That you are a vessel.
That you didn’t come here –

To be a wife.
A mother.
A person.
ONE of them.

But you came here –
To create.
To unleash.
To ROAM.

I love you because you’ll never be satiated.
Because you would tear your heart out with your bare hands, and drink the blood that drips from them, before you would give in to being like THEM.

But most of all I love you because even if you try –
And you try –
And you try –

You simply can not.
Be that –
Which you are not.

I love you because in you –
I see me.
And in me?
I see that YOU were born to change the fucking world.

So go forth.
Fucking SHINE.
EMPOWER.
CREATE.
UNLEASH.
Do it as it’s never been done before.
STRUGGLE and learn to love the struggle because your life is going to BE one of struggle, but by struggle?
I mean doing what is necessary to flow.
And flow.
And fly.

The pathway for you has not been written yet.
You’re going to do it in a way never thought of.
You’re going to break all the rules.
It won’t be ANYTHING like you try to plan it.
So give in.
Let go.
Stop WONDERING.
And for the love of God –

Stop thinking.
When ALL that matters is what’s inside.
And let it out.
Just –
Let it out.

I love you because you’re an artist.
I love you because you can’t not.
I love you because you get it.
And I love you because I know –

That it’s oh so hard to love yourself –
When you’re not letting your art out.
As it was meant to be.
As it must be.
As it WILL ultimately be.
As you must DIE for it to be.
Unless you die from not creating it first.

So take my love.
Feel it.
Hold it.
KNOW it.
And then LOVE YOUR FUCKING SELF.

Like an artist?
Yes.
But mostly?
Love yourself enough –

To be that artist.

I love you because you’re an artist baby.
Won’t you say yes to loving yourself as one also?

Share this with those –

Who like us –
Are not for this world –
And need to know –
They’re not alone.
And let them know –
We LOVE you.
Because you’re an artist.

And you?
Are one of us.
Come unite.
