please god, make me an artist in my next life too.

if i read 100 books a year - mind you, 52/year is one per week, so 100/year is just under 2 a week - i will only be able to read 1000 books in a decade. that seems like so little. i'm sure the classics take up at least 300/400, and now we're left with about 650, which still has to encompass screenplays and manga and poetry and all the unconventional and then the books. i can name ten books easily. and that's a tenth of what i can read this year? only??? there will never be enough time in this life, so please god, maybe me a reader and then a writer and then those two a million times over.

but i want to be a visual artist, an animator, a sculptor, a performance artist, a ballerina, a choreographer, a painter, a sketcher, a playwright, a screenwriter, a book editor, a poet, SO MANY THINGS. and arguable i could do all of that in this life, but i want to be able to dedicate a life to all of those things. i want to be able to throw myself into it and dedicate all i have to all of that. and a musician. i want to be a violinist. and a singer. someone who tours. and a drummer. and someone who takes care of the greenhouse. and someone who excels in high fantasy, and then romance, and then dystopia, and then a journalist, and an architect, a famous ao3 writer, so many things.

please please please god make me an artists in my next life, and the one after that, and the one after that, and on and on and on because there will never be enough time for the arts.
