    ive been thinking about it recently and there arent many goos reasons to write graffiti. the main reasons seem to be ego, attention and/or venting anger or sadness. are all graffiti writers just insecure and selfisb? i definitely am. i got into graffiti from youtube videos and just thought it was so cool. but when i was a kid i just saw it as a cool little touch to the environment when i looked out of the subway/car window. i'll say that when i was really considering it, i was super antisocial and had no confidence or self esteem. so tell me, whats your reason for doing it?

    well, you see what i mean when i said that graffiti writers are insecure and not confident. why do other peoples opinions about you matter? it doesnt. im not a perfect person and i admit to being insecure and not confident. how the fuck is "society making you invisible"? it just sounds like a bunch of pretentious bs.

    As long as you are looking to others for validation you are giving up all your personal power and exposing yourself to the advances of all the psychopathic personalities out there.

    I don't mean validation from another person per se. I mean validation of self. I mean when societies making you feel like nothing, it's a way of saying 'I am here!'. 'here's proof that I exist!'

    Or 'fuck the system [that oppresses you]' some might say.

    But in a creative way... Plus I like understanding art techniques in general... I'm reasonably OK at art but I might only get 1 person interested.... I've put a couple stencils up in prominent places in town and I know they've been looked at 100 times more than any work I've done at home has

    so for you to validate yourself you need attention from others because society is making you feel like nothing? see how what youre saying is bull? stop blaming other people for your issues. consider getting therapy and improve yourself. i know this sounds preachy but im getting this from other people.

    i just googled "graffiti sike" and there are already some people writing it. u should do what you want tho. as long as there is no other sike in your area.

    lets stop talking about this and get back on topic tho.

    Lol its SELF validation. Loads of writers do stuff just to be able to stand back and say 'I did this'
