(Introductory Post #3) Life is art.

Welcome to my third Introductory Post!

My name is Samuel.
This series is meant to provide my audience with a glimpse of who I am, what I enjoy, and what my aspirations are for my life and Steemit. This helps you connect with me, and hopefully create the opportunity for us to become friends, as well as help each-other succeed on this wonderful platform.

To catch up, here are the previous posts of this series.👇

Again, Welcome!

In this post I will be talking about more about one of my greatest passions, art.

Humanities's form of self expression, and outlet for creativity and emotion.

Throughout my life, I have come across many different forms of art, music, painting, drawing, knitting, or carving are a few good examples. I've learned to see the beauty in each of them, and though I am not personally proficient in any of them but music, I have found it still to be an enjoyable experience to just, create.

To put the paint on the end of my brush and move it around to create an array of colors that seem beautiful to my eye (atleast, that is what I shoot for.) No matter what, the experience is always satisfying and enjoyable.

But for myself, I love music (as I talked about a little in my first post) and I have been playing and creating music since I was three. I started with the hand drum (djembe) which I played in many different settings, both solo and with bands. Then I moved on, I started playing the piano when I was 14, I took lessons for about a year, and then continued to self teach myself. I have now played in many different settings, both in bands and solo. Then, about two years ago, I picked up the guitar, and never took lessons, but taught myself with youtube videos and playing by ear.

Trough this I have gained the opportunity to both express myself and my emotions, and also being able to put the stress of life to side for a moment and get lost in the music. It has taught me many things, patience, self-motivation, trust, love, and even self-confidence (which has always been difficult for me.)

Music, and all art, has become a huge part of my life, and without it I would be lost. It gives me something to come back to in any moment and is an outlet for the emotions I feel throughout my day. I love that it is never the same and changes depending on my circumstances in each present moment.

That concludes my post for today, but stay tuned for my next one!
