No one really celebrates life when one feels in captivity. Artists also celebrate life when they are surrounded by people they care about and people they know will appreciate their art. Socializing allows the mind to get inspired by the things the artist sees, hears, taste, and touch.

I held all the small amphibians that I searched so hard for, the dirt that I played cars in, and I held bugs with love. Growing up was much more than making friends, or being popular. It was never about when or how I would get someone to find enough spark in me, to call me their person. Friendship, was the bond I had with every new horse my mom would buy. It was the amount of trust I had with animals, even after they hurt or scared me.
