In that case you have to love his art too. Don't fall in love with an artist. Don't ask them to tell what turned them into one. Don't let their stories, poems, paintings and anything that they create take away your heart. For, they are more than just the words in their prose, they are more than the strokes on the canvas and much more than the expressions they portray on the screen. Don't fall in love with them because, their love is like wildfire that can make you feel every organ in your body ignite. They don't really know the subtle way of loving but have masters in going to extremes. They will touch your heart with so much fierce that you will wonder why the storms aren't named after them. Artists are just ordinary people with extraordinary courage. They have the unique strength to be themselves despite being ingored and mocked by many. Even, when you spend too much time with them, they will brainwash you to believe that anything is possible in this world. Don't fall in love with an artist. For, they can notice the crease of your skin and trembling of your hands and turn it into poetry. Don't fall for them because you may confuse yourself for entering into just another human being's world. And, just then and there you will fail to realise that no matter how dull or boring they appear they have got all, unimaginable, magnificent, stupid and amazing world inside them. Not just one but hundreds or maybe thousands of them. Don't fall in love with an artist. For, they are more than your comprehension. And, when you see their art, you realise what was missing in your life up until now, that their mere words are too true to be accepted, that their colours do justice to this world just rightly, that the characters they create are so mighty that you actually start to fear them. To love an artist is to find the love unheard of which can be felt ten times deeply. They don't live for the small things like being called 'you are different' or 'you are talented.' They are the people who keep inventing and reinventing themselves, finding just more than what others claim them to be. So, don't fall in love with an artist unless you are ready to enter into their mad, wild and beautiful world. #YourQuoteAndMine Collaborating with Shreya Jain
