A couple of days ago I realised that the only times I write is when I'm mad, or pissed, or annoyed, or upset, or whatever. Negative emotions. I thought maybe I should start writing when I'm extremely happy. Because I'm happy quite often. I laugh a lot. [Tumblr<333] But my blog reflects me as this sad cynical person & so I decided I will write.
Obviously, being as lazy as I am, I didn't get to it.
Then today I saw someones tattoo which said "Art never comes from happiness." & it all suddenly made sense. I don't understand why, but most pieces of art aren't happy. You can't even tell if the Mona Lisa is smiling or not. These emotions only surface when you're unhappy. Happiness is too light an emotion. I don't know how I'm talking so deep & stuff & I can't even reason it but it just makes sense. :3

i really like what u have written but i really want u to rethink about happiness being a light emotion! on the contrary, happiness is the most powerful emotion there is gal! that is after love....duh! xxxx
ReplyDeleteThat was beautiful. I write too, and there was a phase when I had people telling me that my blog's a bit too morbid. This got me thinking and also notice the weird relationship any art form has to extreme emotions.
ReplyDeleteOH bytheway,I stumbled upon your tumblr through Voldemophobia. And then I sort of reached here. I love Voldemophobia because it is awesome. And I am stalking it 70% of my facebook time. I love Harry Potter too.
