Explore Art, Feel Better

Art is formidable mental health therapy

By Seema PatelPublished 8 months ago 1 min read

Even as a kid,

as if I already knew,

life can be hard

without a way

to make it enjoyable

or tolerable.

So, I sought solutions,

and art emerged,

as the answer,

to my queries.

Since age four,

now at forty,

I continue creativity

as integral part,

of my life journey,

which diminishes agonies.

I teach this wonderful,

life philosophy,

to my kids,

that they can turn

pain and suffering

into a blessing.

I encourage you too,

dear readers,

pick your tools,

and explore the realm,

of imagination,

and self-expression.

Let it shrink chaos,

improve mental health,

and offer catharsis,

We have art in order not to die of the truth. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
