Canvas

Painting is one of my many hobbies and painting on a canvas seems like a privilege and you'll get to know why soon. A white canvas has immense opportunities. It depends on your mood and will as to what you want to do with that blank canvas. You can use any medium and any art style to portray just any idea in the world. Seeing a blank canvas gives me hope and possibly the power of having control that at that moment, it depends on me what I choose to bring to that canvas. Life is seldom under our control and doing things that make us feel that control again, even if it's for a short time, gives us strength and hope that things always turn out to be beautiful in the end.

When you come to think of it, aren't our lives similar to blank canvasses? We don't know what's ahead of us, yet we aim to achieve it. School students are aiming for the top universities, even though they don't even know what the course of study may be like there. University students are working so hard to get placed, not having a hint of what life will bring to them with this new journey. But isn't this true for everyone? No one knows what lies ahead in their lives yet they keep on aiming. Setting goals and achieving them gives you a sense of self-reliance but we often forget that we can paint the canvasses of our lives in so many different colors, none of them being the way society expects us to. Why do we feel the need to fit in when we can come up with something marvelous by being different and just the way we are? 

Why do we feel the need to put a hold on our hobbies because they will come in the way of the goals which our society wants us to achieve? Why do we forget the fact that we are "The Society" and "The Society" will be what we want it to be? Just pick up your brushes and paint in whatever colors and in whichever way you want to. Own your life because it's the only one you got!!
