an artist

You are not a woman;
You are an artist.

Of course, you are a woman;
But before that, you are first and foremost an artist.

When, will you silly wench cease your futile hopes,
and pointless emotions?
How many times will you repeat this over and over again?

It will fade away and turn bitter, definitely.
But your art is lasting and steady.

The tenacious pain is food for your art.
Therefore, fear not, fret not about this pain.

The life of an artist is to lift the burdens of others around.
They are to push themselves beyond their limits and cause others to laugh.

Yes, they may weep and mourn.
But they may not do so for long.
They must gather themselves promptly,
and get about their mission again.

You seek a love that is real and tangible like the rock.
You seek a love that is slow and steady like adagio.
You seek a love that is sincere and kind like as if it's possible.

But I tell you, you have been seeking in the wrong place all this while.
A love like this is only found in agape love,
which only can be found in God's love.

Alternatively, you can seek this love in art.
Art that is real and tangible like the rock;
Art that is slow and steady like adagio;
Art that is sincere and kind which is definitely possible.

Therefore, I tell you, poor wretch,
throw away your futile hopes and pointless emotions.

Yes, you are a woman.
But before you remember and become an artist again,
forget that you are a woman at all.

Your life is meant for His purposes.
Glorify Him with your art.
Reaching others with your art was what He had intended all along.
