Once upon a time, there was a girl who wanted to do something to help her escape reality. So one day,she started painting on a blank canvas.Each stroke was done meticulously,as she was slowly creating a flawless masterpiece.When she eventually finished painting,she gazed proudly at her work and smiled.

It was quite obvious, that she had a gift.She knew it too. She could feel it flowing in her veins. Days passed and she got caught up in her own life, frolicking and gallivanting across exams, jobs and relationships. She was preoccupied with worldly pleasures, running after things which never really mattered. She was happy, but unhappy at the same time.

At last, she realised that she should do something which moves her/is passionate about.

So, she quickly went to a nearby craft store and bought some canvas and paint. She started painting in her room, completely unaware about time, from dusk till dawn. She realised there was still some magic left in life to revel and rejoice in, as we transcend our dreams and realise our self worth.
