What happens when your self-worth depends on others’ approval? Dive into a childhood story about drawing, mistakes, and discovering the true meaning of self-value.
I created drawings incessantly as a child. I gave up that and other artistic pursuits due to feeling not good enough compared to the very best. And, my self with was tied to all of that. Now I have a better frame of mind.
Well writing is my main art right now. Guitar is secondary. But you are right, I had to return to the person I am. This makes a huge difference in our lives. I believe I let society’s false teachings turn me around. One has to unlearn what he has learned, in my view.

Such a great read, Antonio!
It's something that takes time to understand, and I wish I had that mindset when I was in school.
For sure, I feel like awareness could be part of the curriculum!
Great piece! Normalise doing for the joy of the doing!
Never be afraid of criticism, get past and you'll get better.
It will do you better in the long run!
Agree. Great writing! Great graphics too. Love the ideas in here.
I enjoyed this! Alsop, I would love to see that drawing of Princess Diana!
Me too, memory is fussy, my cousin Diana woulda've loved it.
