true artists

i deeply value the soul and passion an artist has.  to give up conforming to society's rules of occupations and salaries for fulfilling your true calling is awe-inspiring.  what a step it takes to live as an artist, treading on the possibility of making it, but the reality it may not occur.  does one ever give up this dream? artists who fight for being content with their meager surroundings, knowing in their hearts something bigger could loom around the corner.   i heart artists, and always wanted to be one. this is why i was pulled to the creative boys.  i thought it was their passion that wooed me, and it did.  but what it really wooed was the stirring of my soul's creativity to awaken.
