I like art.. maybe too much. In this experimental essay, I examine the idea of following your passions, and what happens when they take over/come in conflict with your life. It results in yet another existential crisis.

As you might expect, it goes into some heavy, meaning of life-type territory, so there is no definitive conclusion (I am a little boy. I couldn't possibly know what life means). This might be SOO pretentious, but worrying about those arbitrary things hurts art, so here we are.
