You definitely have an artist's soul. Is that poem yours? If so you have a poet's soul as well. I really like it!

Yes it's mine, thank you. Thank you all, it felt good to dream again even for a little while. Dreams are beautiful things aren't they? They got me through foster care and gave me hope. Well I want my final words to be of hope, so to you young artists keep pressing on, I believe you will do great things in this world, don't look to the outside, AI or how much people like your work, instead look internally, and if this is something you enjoy doing - because nobody can take that away from you. I'm a fossil now comparatively, and I dont have the spark anymore, much less the talent some of you possess in your pinky.
Regardless I got to live my dream even for a little while, sure it didn't look as glamorous as young me imagined but I still did it. Thanks for not just this but for conceptart.orgs existence back in the day, young me graduated from multiple high schools and homes despite the odds just because I had a little dream world I could escape to and work towards. Art is a beautiful thing, and I hope I had even a small impact on the world
Take care, and keep creating, live how you want to, dream and never lose hope.. Hard times teach us who who really are, deep down inside. Sure life didn't work out the way I imagined but that's also normal.
