hi everyone! (if there's anyone out there that still looks at my projects) i forced myself to draw and finish said drawing the other day and for me, it was a really great experience it's definitely not the best thing i've ever made but i enjoyed doing it and that's what i'm here to talk about this idea brings a quote to mind that i've been quite enjoying lately, "i'm not very good at it. but it doesn't matter. it's the fun of it that's important" - mr. rogers and in my personal life that's a concept i'm trying to embrace. i'm kind of a perfectionist in the way that, if i'm not immediately good at something (especially if it's new) i shut down and don't want to do it, because i get embarrassed or frustrated but what i forget is that no one expects me to be perfect ESPECIALLY if it's something new. i've played soccer for a long time and i wouldn't expect a beginner to be super good, and i wouldn't get upset with them for being bad if that analogy doesn't stick with you i'll offer this one when a baby is learning to walk, we applaud it for trying, for even standing! we don't get angry at a baby because it can't walk, or because it doesn't know how to to summarize, there's no need to be so hard on ourselves when trying something out we should do things we aren't necessarily the best at and try to enjoy the process life is meant to be beautiful and enjoyable, and it can't be enjoyable if we won't allow ourselves to learn and grow thank you for coming to my ted talk cheers to a new year! love you all!!! -curtle (if you read the whole thing let me know your thoughts on this idea! i'd love to hear)
