About Me

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
I am a high school student, living in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I have a huge interest in Psychology, and if I had to describe myself in one word, I would say vintage nerd! Which is actually two words, but I love words so much that I can't just choose one!

The Art Gallery

A blank canvas is really all one needs. In life, in work, in everything. The blank canvas is what we need in order to see the potential that we possess. We are born a blank canvas with the world ahead of us. For all anyone knows we could be the next Gandhi or the next Hitler. The beauty of it is that that decision is completely up to us. We can be whoever we want, and the size of the footprint we leave behind in this world can be as big or as small as we want it.
Life is made of a blank canvas and passion. A passion for everything we do. It has to feel right. Every action has to have the soul behind it every step of the way. So with that passion we can fill that blank canvas with the most beautiful works in the world. When those works come together, we see the single greatest display that has ever graced the face of the planet. There are plenty of people who will never fill their canvas to their potential, but why not try?
Or is life more abstract? Is there anything wrong with life just happening to us? There are others who just live life like a carnival jumping on one ride at a time with no intricate pattern. There is never a general one size fits all approach to life. That is figured out by the individual. What we know is that the individuals come together to make this unfathomable world we live in. That art gallery is the most complex collection there is. Philosophers have thought, and will continue to think on it until the end of time.
Think about it! How complicated is the world around us. We compare that to the highly organized galaxy outside this world, and we realize what we have around us here. Knowing that, consider what humanity adds to the beauty of the world and as an individual, the effect one has on the surrounding environment.
