Expressing yourself is essential to truly live life. If you are unable to express yourself, you cannot communicate and relate, and communicating and relating with one another is the only way to truly feel, and live life. Expressing yourself does not mean you have to be good with words, a fluent speaker. You can express yourself through your music, the music that you make and the music you listen to, your doodles on your class notes, or a painting of your own, or even collecting cutouts, pictures and paintings; anything that you relate to, that expresses and inspires you. Whether it is a Van Gogh painting, or Paul Signac, or that half crappy painting you made when you were stoned (but you secretly admire).
You can express yourself through your words, your poems of three lines or a whole essay, through your choice of clothes, decoration, or any hobby for that matter. You can express yourself through the films that you make or watch, the photos that you take. Hell you can even express yourself through your Instagram posts.
You can express yourself through a handshake, a hug, a smile, a kiss, in the way you make love, in the way you communicate with others through words or body language. Whatever medium you choose, express yourself and express yourself well. For in doing so, you form connections, meaningful ones, and meaningful connections are the only way to truly live life.
Make art, collect art, engage yourself with art.
