Art.

"I hated drawing and art beyond words, probably because I had a teacher that made fun of my drawing once, I know it wasn't the nicest drawing but for some reason I felt insecure because of that..so I hated it. I never thought of art or colors as therapeutic as most people say, I used to always get angry when I try to draw something and I fail, I used to take it way too seriously for some reason, therefore art always used to be so intimidating to me; but one time I was alone, sad and I didn't trust people to tell them my problems, so I decided put on my headphones, listen to my favorite albums and just draw. I have never felt better, I felt like all my sorrow went down on paper, even though it wasn't the best drawing, it felt incredible. That's why I like to consider paper is my best friend, because I never feel better than when I write and draw. Only paper seems to understand my mind so does art." -Abeer Tarek
