Diverse Artistry
Art and bohemianism come
hand in hand. Most bohemians
spend their time pursuing
artistic projects like the
creation of books, songs, and
paintings, but the list doesn't
end there. Singing, dancing,
sketching, poetry, and even
blogging are all common
hobbies in the bohemian world.
Since the earliest cave
paintings of men hunting and
being hunted, art has served as
a way to criticise the flawed
nature of the world that
surrounds us.
From predators to presidents,
there will always be a threat to
our freedom that can be
identified through poems,
novels, paintings, and any other
artform under the sun.
"Art enables us to find
ourselves and lose ourselves at
the same time."
What It All Means
Bohemians live the way they
want. They don't concern
themselves with routine,
wealth, social norms, or the
judgement of others.
Many will call them bums,
burdens, and a whole myriad of
names, but that doesn't change
the fact that we could all learn
something from the bohemians
of our age.
Bohemians could remind us of
what we once had in childhood
but lost along the way to
adulthood.
There's nothing wrong with the
pursuit of success and financial
stability, but it's important that
we don't sacrifice our creativity,
curiosity, and everything else
that makes us happy just to chase
the things society tells us to
chase.
To summarise this article with a
quote from the novelist 'Jake
Lizarraga' :
"The
antagonist
to progress
is not chaos,
but
entrapment"
