the way to deal with life

Right now more then ever I feel as if my life is not my own, try as I may being a full time textile artist, just isn't paying the bills. Now I know many people would say give up but that's not what I will ever do or tell other artist to do! When things are hard that's when you most make your art, its where you find yourself, you don't find it at the job that pays the bills that's just a place you go because you most. But you find your self in the late hours and sleepless nights that you have your art in your hands, when you feel lost your art finds you and some how makes you believe that it will all be ok. you see in being who you are, not who the world says to be is where you find yourself your heart your soul, as artist we most never give in to this world or change for it, we most make the world change and believe in art the way it use to! Art takes a way the lines that keep us from being at peace, it lets us take with each other with out words for art needs no word, its a feeling that every one has with in them if they only believe in them self's. That's why more then ever I find the only way to be at peace in this world is to make art, to be true to my self no matter what else I am doing, for if you give up your self for money in this world you have lost your self your soul.
