"If a poet is anybody, he is somebody to whom things made matter very little - somebody who is obsessed by Making."- E E Cummings
E E Cummings is one of my favorite poets. When reading this quote I don't limit it to poets, but it represents all people who possess a creative quality. It reminds us that creativity is endless. That we need to cherish the ability to be able to freely make our own creations. To have the ability to make masterpieces that we can call our own.
Anything that can be made using skills from within is art. We all have the ability to makes something beautiful. Whether it is a poem, a painting, a meal, a piece of furniture, or a human life it is all beautiful and all unique.
Life is full of options and open doors we just have to allow ourselves to use the talents we possess. The reason I chose this title is because art is never ending we can forever make something new that was inspired from you name it. Facts and truths are valid and are never changing. To be able to break from the "norm" and what facts we surround ourselves by we can hopefully create what ever it is that truly makes us happy and truly makes us obsessed with making.

The Lack of
"To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness." - Bertrand Russel
Happiness. Webster's Dictionary describes happiness as "the quality or state of being happy; good fortune; pleasure; contentment; joy." So to be without some of the things you want is essential to being happy? Sounds kind of crazy right? When I first think of happiness I think of things that make me smile or make me feel content. Happiness are the things in life that you do not have to worry about. Happiness is when you realize how special those little things truly are.
What if everything in life went our way. What if there were no disappointments or consequences. Would happiness exist? Absolutely not. That's just what this quote is trying to say. It is saying without failure there is no gain. Without the horrible days there is no bright tomorrow or a greener side. You can not experience happiness with out having to deal with something worse off.
This allows me to truly be grateful for what I have. It almost makes the flaws in life beautiful. The flaws in life are what makes us different from one another and what motivates us to be the people we are today. At least this is true for me.

My BEST Friend
My best friend is the type of person you learn to love. I have been friends with her for six years now and yet at times she makes me crazy she is my best friend. All five foot one of her is full of fire. She doesn't take crap from anyone and will fight to her death if she thinks she is right. As for me, I am nothing like her. She is more black and white and I tend to be very gray. I see the positives in every situation and she only sees what is clear to her. Now you might be thinking how are you such good friends with someone who is completely opposite from you, but it just works. I calm her down and she pumps me up.
As for looks she has whatever color hair of the week she decides and her features are completely opposite to mine. As I mentioned earlier she is five one and if you haven't noticed already that I am a giant, well I guess you will now. She is very Italian and definitely lives up to their reputation. She is driven to do whatever it is that she wants and she will make it happen.
Her laugh is very high pitched almost like a squeak. She can dress in a trash bag and still pull it off. Although she is very loud and aggressive she has softer qualities as well. She is one of the only people in this world I would trust with my life. Not only that, but she is so much fun! Our adventures are outrageous to say the least. She is definitely a person you must meet in your lifetime and if you don't have the chance well shame on you.
