artists!

i have always imagined myself staying in a place where performers stay...
a dorm where all kinds of artist sleep, rest, or do whatever they want to do...
a place where we can express ourselves without people minding us coz they think its art!
a place where our imagination can grow...
a place where we can express ourselves through dance, poetry,paintings, and all other kinds of art!

is it hard to look for those places?
looking for it isn't hard, it's all over the world
conservatories, dormitories for artists, theater, opera houses,etc.
what's hard is, how to get there, how to qualify for scholarships
coz lets face the fact that not all artist are wealthy (for starters)...

great artist have struggled a lot in the past
but it never stopped them, they took it as challenges in life they have to overcome,
and that made them wealthy, wise and strong
i have come across a lot of local/international artists
and they all said the same thing: (the thought)
*being an artist isn't easy, you have to struggle and defend your art
*one of the challenges, is how you'll be able to fascinate the crowd
*art is simple but it takes an artist to bring it out into the world and show it to the people
*it takes an artist to teach the people how to love art, specially those who think art is just a waste of time

i would LOVE to be one of those artist, and in order to do that i have to overcome several challenges on my own, but i think of it this way, it would be the best chapter in my life if i will be able to reach that dream..."what was once a dream is now a reality" this will be the phrase i would someday love and enjoy saying.

i am starting the first chapter of my struggles.
*how to balance ballet life and graduate as a nurse at the same time... hahahah
it'll take a lot of time before i will reach both but then sooner or later i will reach it. I will because i WANT to, not because i HAVE to...

to those struggling artist out there... keep on struggling, you will soon reach that point in life when you can say "what was once a dream is now a reality"
