Life sucks when you don't have talent

I feel like creativity is something that has become an enterprise rather than a form of expression unique to a person and to their talent and soul. Artists, musicians, and any person who does a creative work seem to be bound to an unwritten set of rules that are forced upon us with no choice in the matter.
I ask, why?
Why must we be forced to abide by a guideline of how we should and should not write? Why should all art be realistic? Has not some of the art you may have seen not be realistic in the slightest sense of the word but you are still undoubtably attracted to the piece? most likely you thought yes. Whether it be cartoon or surrealist ink blots on canvas, art is not something that can be graded and scored upon, but it always is.
Society now-a-days is built upon money and greed. We find every excuse to limit peoples choices in the world, and if you're not talented you're weeded out to do the menial tasks that the big wigs and prized talented people don't want to do. If you're not talented now we are told we will never be. If we don't figure out what we want to do for the rest of our menial grub fucking lives we are told we will never ammount to anything and that life will be fickel towards us.
And I can't say that what 'they' say isn't completely wrong. Life IS hard and will be hard unless we have some idea on where we want to go.


I realize that this post is probably a major downer on everyones day, but, you have to admit it is true.
