The Maine

I don't really know what to write about because this is a free topic, so I guess I'll write about something I'm excited about. In exactly a week I'm going to see a band that I really really really really really really like. I've been a fan for years and I'm finally going to see them in a headlining concert. I first saw them when I was in either 6th or 7th grade. They opened for a Fall Out Boy concert that I went to and I've loved them ever since. They still aren't that popular among society, but the sure have a bigger fan base than they did when I first saw them. When I mention their band name, almost no one knows who I'm talking about, and those who do usually only know the more popular songs the band has. Along with just going to the concert, there is a meet and greet and I'm a HUGE fan of the lead singer, total fan-girl for him. I can't wait. AHHHH!

If making art or art classes were banned from when I was born, I don't think "art-banned-amanda" would know that she was a different person than "art-exposed-amanda" is today. But I know now that if I was never able to make art or take art classes or be exposed to any type of art I would be so much less creative than I am today, and I wouldn't appreciate or see the beauty in things.

If making art and taking art classes was banned right now at this moment I would be very upset. Making art is a great way to express feelings and it's something I enjoy to do. It'd be like taking a piece of me away from myself. Things would definitely be different in my life and I think I wouldn't be as happy as a person that I am now, taking photography and doing other artistic things in my life.
