little art rant thing
10 years ago
Okay this will be short but I need to say this
I hate it when people say someone else's art is bad and they should stop trying. How else are they going to get better? Or when someone says that a person will never succeed at art. I mean.. WHAT THE HECK. That is wrong. It hurts people so much. I was told that in 1st grade. Not by a student, no one talked to me really and they were at the same skill level. But by the substitute teacher. To her, my art was like.. nails on a chalkboard. unbearable. And she told me that i wouldn't succeed in front of the class. No one stood up because they thought teachers were right about those things. Now a handful of people my age are telling me that my art is amazing- but that thing she said still lingers. it HURTS. It makes me feel like I won't get better, but I still try to prove that was wrong. Sure, my art isn't great- but I'm improving. maybe I will be successful, but how am I supposed to know right now? And so when I hear people basically saying that a person should give up on art, it enrages me. when people call someone's art horrible when they are just beginning I feel like I could explode from that building rage. I know, I may have slight anger problems (possibly a puberty thing but IDK) but it's just how I feel.
I know, I know, I'm rambling. That's something I tend to do even in real life (except with constant stuttering and stammering and crud like that) but i just wanted to say that. Its kind of stupid, the way I put it but I'm not good with words, really. I just ramble to someone willing to listen or to a journal so then I let these emotions out, so I'm not bottling them up as much so when I explode, I don't harm anyone physically or mentally in a blind rage or a blind burst of emotions or something. And though I sound like an idiot while doing it, it helps me. (though there have been cases of this where i post something like this online and am called out for it and i regret it and am like "oh god why did i do this why was i so stupid oh no" or something like that.
also off topic but if you are actually reading this (first of all WOW) is it strange that i never use home row at ALL? i tend to only use my thumbs and index fingers when typing. It is quicker ad more natural for me and I am wondering if that is common or not because I dont even know.
