In the opening scenes of 101 & One Dalmations
She clearly remembers a man burning music sheets
He was burning the music sheets because he needed to stay warm
He was an artist
A starving artist at that
A man dedicated to his craft so much that he forgot about all else
Simply focusing on what set his soul on fire
That man was a romantic
Creatives are romantics
Because as one dedicates their time and energy to their craft
The realities of life swirl by coming out in the final product
But the final product is seen as beautiful
The brush strokes of pain and hurt become a masterpiece
Romantics
If you ask me are hurt many times
Life happens and the emotions are escalated so many times
It’s not just happiness but extreme bliss
It isn’t just hurt but excruciating pain
No in-between
And many times
The moments of hurt last much longer than the happy ones
Because in search for happiness there are bouts of rejection that seem to tear at the soul
But in dedication to the craft of art
A creative keeps going
Wiping tears on a canvas that is yet to be completed
Standing back to see the work that holds a whole story
But to the viewer, the story isn’t always seen or felt
Because the focus is on the beauty of the outcome
The hurt lingers for a little bit
But it goes away
It gets taken away but the oohs and ahs of the onlookers changing the landscape
The flow of energy
Because it’s strong
The vibes are strong
When first seeing the work some may feel it
The very thing that caused the heart of the artist to pump so quickly in heaving sobs
But after some time
It is simply a topic of conversation
Like Van Gogh
Upon looking at his work we know his story of torment
But it is no longer felt
Just another explanation for his actions such as when he physically hurt himself and did a self portrait
All for love
The romantic creative
Full of hurt from life and a joie to vivre at the same time
The artist
The expresser of both love & pain
Bionica
