I’m self taught- besides a few YouTube tutorials here and there, I like trying to figure things out.
I really enjoy creating. I’ve never been good at drawing and only half good at painting. But I’m realising not everything I have to create needs to be good- sometimes it’s about the process.
Burn out is so real. It’s important to enjoy what you’re doing.
I create for me- so I don’t care if my paintings aren’t all there. I enjoyed painting, and I’m proud of myself for sitting down and doing it.
Thank you for your advice- it comes from a good place.
Also thank you for taking the time and having a conversation about this tricky topic.
We all want to be treated well and with kindness regardless of how we look. I hope the school run is surprisingly enjoyable and that your week is filled with yum treats
It’d be 100% different if it was coming from a place of concern. I’m a small girl- I get it. I also naturally have a very small waist and wide hips which makes my hip bones look more prominent… I get it.
I just don’t like being asked if I’m on drugs because I’m thin.
Weight has so much baggage connected to it. Being too thin- being too large. Regardless what gender you are… there’s always something to be said. There’s no winning and it’s bullshit. I decided long ago I’m not going to change my body for anyone but myself.
Unfortunately not everyone else has come to that conclusion. I will not tolerate any form of body shaming. I want to be involved in a community that won’t tolerate it. There are so many contributing factors to someone’s weight; mental health, physical health, drug use, diet restrictions, genetics. Unless we KNOW that someone is engaging in unhealthy behaviours- let’s keep our mouths shut.
Also. Thanks for the comments. Printing them out right now.
Thank you. I’m alright at painting trees
