The Starry Night

The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh. It is valued at $100 million. He painted it in June 1889 from his asylum room at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, just before sunrise, with the addition of an imaginary village. 

Van Gogh's diagnosis's all suggest that he suffered various mental health disorders. One would gather from this info that he used his talent to escape from the fears that come with not understanding the depths of his own mind. 

Anyone who has lost control of their mind can understand van Gogh's journey toward "madness". It is very frightening when your mind does something out of the norm of which you are accustomed to it doing. The unknown makes us fearful and we ignore the obvious signs that something isn't "right" or is "right". We ignore the power of our mind so as to not appear abnormal. 

We are conditioned to conform so that we don't go rouge and inform. By this I mean that, each of us has the ability to be the master of our mind. Grasping this concept makes people uncomfortable because it requires the necessity of self-evaluating which leads to accepting truths about oneself. Not everyone is prepared to do that. 

This quote sums it up and is fact: "There will come a time when you will lose everything, including your mind. Once you've lost your mind, you'll be left with nothing but your soul - that is when you'll know you are invincible".

Go rogue! Seek your soul. Be invincible! <3
