Lollipops and Rainbows

Sometimes when I go to write another one of these blogs, I look for an inspiration somewhere.
Whether it be Youtube, Wikipedia, even Nuts magazine, I try to read or watch something that gives me a sense of enlightenment and wisdom. A true awe instigating feeling where everything becomes suddenly clear.

It never really does. But it does get me thinking.
People go looking for these eureka moments a lot. Whether it be in art, or natural beauty, people look for something that fills their need for knowledge and astoundment.

But that's not what art does.
Artists create art to make you feel one, or two certain emotions.
They try to get their ideas and feelings across.
And a lot of them are quite depressing.

And the reason art never gives you this everything-is-beautiful-in-the-world-and-I-now-can-see-it-for-it's-true-colours feeling, is because it doesn't exist.

The world is a nasty place, filled with tiny bits of rainbows and lollipops.

I like rainbows and lollipops. And sunshine. Gimme more.
