Evan Carmichael argues that creating art—singing, dancing, writing, poetry—matters not for money but for making life bearable. A poorly written poem done earnestly yields profound reward. The point is to create something, however imperfectly, and feel alive.
The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend. Even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.
