On the lips - Estée Lauder (Double Wear - 06 Apple Cordial)
I used to draw and paint when I was a little girl, just like a lot of other girls and boys. I just recently started up again, it just took me about 20 years.
The other kids in my class used to tear my drawings apart and throw them in the trash. Laugh at them. Steal. So I stopped drawing. I figured there was no point in trying to create something when everyone around me was going to destroy it anyways. These thoughts and feelings stayed with me for years, decades even. I was scared to share anything I created with my own hands with anyone. I still am. But, I just recently realized that these kids aren't around anymore. They're all gone. All that is left is memories, and fear. And even though it scares me to death just talking about it, I'll admit I've always had a dream of becoming an artist. I just kept it to myself. So don't tell anyone, OK? It's our secret.
Gorgeous outfit! Love the cardigan!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Heidi! I do love knitted cardigans for sure ^^,
DeleteFantastica. Bellissimi i capelli e il binomio verde e nero. Kiss
ReplyDeleteThank you <3
DeleteI had a pretty similar experience except it was a teacher who threw my drawings out and was constantly watching to make sure I didn't start again (I did). It's discouraging. But, similarly, I started again more recently. That magic never leaves you. :)
ReplyDeleteThat must have been horrible, I'm so sorry you had to experience that. Not all who can teach should be teachers.
DeleteI'm glad you too are finding joy in drawing again; let's show them all! <3
