Why to I consider myself to be an "Artist"?

And why do I continue to constantly strive for morealways improving, always creating something new? Well, at times I might have the answer to this question myself but tonight it dawned on me... And I caught a small glimpse as to why it is that I am doing all that I do. I watched this movie with my host sister tonight and as it always seems to be when watching these movies, I felt so inspired. Of course, from the exterior it might seem like some kind of other cheesy Hollywood movie with some cool effects and a love story tied in there, which in one case... yes, it is. But in another way, it's a piece of art. A form of expressionInspiration. One dance scene in particular left me in awe and with so much inspiration, take a few minutes and watch for yourself here. Watching things like this, really does make me realize that what I do isn't just because it's fun or because I get positive feedback. Although yes, these are two great reasons that I continue on -- it's not the main reason. The main reason is the fact that it's truly something more that meets the eye. When creating art, you're sharing a piece of yourself with the world. It's a form of self-expression... a way to say something which words sometimes cannot seem to express. It's creating something out of nothing, the results being something that catches the eye. Something which we strive to have that initiative "spark." When viewing art in this way, all I can think is how could I not choose to study & do it as a career? It's the one thing which I can truly see myself doing great things with. In what medium? To be honest I have no idea. That answer will come within the right time. But as for now, I feel in my heart that this is what I was meant to do. God blessed me with talent and not in a conceited or boastful way, but I believe that to be true for the fact that it's simply a way of who we are. Who I am. Hopefully, I'm not alone in these thoughts. But if I am? That's okay, too. It's just another opinion in the matter. :)
