One should pour their passion forth, into whatever they can. This will become their drive, their life, their soul. Art is perhaps the most universally-accepted and beautiful form of such passion.

But all of those artists are wrong.

True art is fleeting.

It is a stressed moment of pure, undeniable beauty. For one second, the entirety of the heavens flashes before your eyes, and then ripped away. For that period, you are no longer a dirty, worthless mortal. Because, in that one second, you leave a mark, a scar, on the earth. On someone or something. You see the fear in their eyes, the raw emotion burning in their soul, pleading for you to help them understand the only true art.

I always make sure they get a clear understanding. In that moment, I allow them to become a beautiful masterpiece, one that will never fade from my memory, but will also never be replicable.

You can never recreate a certain explosion. It is impossible to clone it, or to nullify it or the memory of the destruction it caused. The explosion is inevitable, inconceivably beautiful, and unforgettable.

I, for one, have counted the people that I graced with my art, the lucky humans that got to experience that one moment of pure terror and undeniable joy and beauty. The ones that I turned into my art-

Today, the count hit 750.

I grin. That many people have been enlightened- ensured with that memory of beauty.

So beautiful, so reckless. So quick, yet the memory lasts forever. Even in death, those fortunate souls will remember true art- my true art.

One day, I myself will get the privilege to experience that one second of true knowledge. Then, I will join those enlightened in that frightening thing given the timespan of eternity- death.

Sadly, those allowed to experience my art's beauty will always end up being punished in that way. It's not fair, in those who live in the heavens eye's, for one person to experience that level of joy. So they give us the universe's most devastating consequence.

Still, the beauty, joy, sheer destruction, and art of it all-

That makes everything worth it.
