Animals are just amazing as they give you unconditional love. biggest gesture of showing love to them is by giving them a forever home and creating a safe and secure environment for them.
Art is food for the soul. Art makes you question things, the sublime and the mundane. Art stirs your emotions and makes you feel alive. Art takes you on a journey - to places you've never been, never likely to go - and sometimes would never want to go to. With art we can live vicariously through others love, grief, pain and joy. Without art we are just hollow vessels.Art makes me feel alive and stirs my emotions, takes me on a journey and feeds my soul
