Art is for everyone. Not just professionals. Kurt Vonnegut knew this well. In 2006, a teacher had students write to famous authors. Vonnegut was the only one who replied. His message? Practice art for joy, not for money or fame. Create something. Anything. Then let it go. This isn't about becoming a professional artist. It's about finding yourself. It's about growing your soul. Vonnegut's advice is simple but powerful. He believed the act of creating is its reward. So, paint a picture. Write a poem. Dance. Sing. Do it for you, not for others. Art is a journey of self-discovery. It's a way to explore who you are and what you can become. The experience of creating is what matters. Not the result. Not the applause or the recognition. Vonnegut's words remind us that art is a gift we give to ourselves. It's a way to connect with our inner selves and the world. So, take his advice. Create. Let it go. And watch yourself grow.
