The opposite of war isn’t peace, it’s creation.
Jonathen Larson, in Rent

I’m not saying that art will save us, but maybe it will. It has taken me years to get to the place I am now, making art, often questioning my own sanity in the process. But the questioning stops when something - a book, a poem, a song, some piece of art - lifts my spirits and brings me back to life. I know this happens for you, too. That’s what it’s for: to lift us up and put us back together. Each one is a life raft someone sends out for us to grab onto and find our way.
