Art has been, and always will be, a prominent part of our culture. All around the world art is celebrated and carried on for generations. But art is more than just paintings on canvas, marble statues, and sculptures made out of various material. Art is also music, expressing a feeling through dancing, and anything that makes you feel something deeper than what is just in front of you.
Truly, anything could be considered art, if viewed by the right person. If something makes you think, makes you feel, takes you back to a moment, if something makes you feel as though someone out there understands who you truly are, you could consider whatever made you feel that way art.
Art is a form of expression, it is as simple as that, and it is expressed in so many different ways. For people like me, there is one form of art that connects with us more than others.
Words. Words are the form of art that I believe is the most beautiful. They have the power to move people to tears. From song lyrics, to poems, to books, to letters and quotes, words have the ability to make us feel something we did not know we could feel. They bring up emotions and memories, they can take us back to a moment otherwise lost.
They can allow us to communicate something with someone. We use words every day, which makes people think that are not as special as they are. But it is these words that make us feel. We can say anything we want and sometimes the words are hard to find, but when we do find the ones we are looking for we have the ability to say the most beautiful thing someone has ever heard.
We can use one word, or a series of multiple words strung together to make something that people can relate to. They can understand and feel something just be reading those words.
A painting can make you think, make you feel, and give you a certain impression. It can be beautiful and bring you tears. But it cannot express something as powerfully and beautifully as words can.
Song lyrics makes us fall in love with a song, they bring us back to the memories we shared with someone now out of our lives. A song can bring us back to a place we haven't been in years. One line from a song can change the way you feel in the matters of a second.
Listening to someone talk about something they are passionate about or someone they love, is one of the most beautiful things you could ever hear, because we all have something that makes us excited and we can all relate to the words they are saying.
It is amazing that a simple alphabet can be formed into so many different words, so many different sentences, with so many different meanings and feelings packed into just a few phrases.
Words have the power to bring people together, to tear them apart, to make us feel something so strongly we think it was written just for us. Without words, we would have nothing. We would not be able to communicate so beautifully, universally, and powerfully.
