Guys look at my horrible drawling that got put up in a library 😭

Pls follow

3/13 Edited to

... Read moreSharing my experience with having a drawing I consider far from perfect displayed publicly taught me a lot about art and self-expression. At first, I was mortified about the ‘horrible’ quality of my piece, but seeing it accepted and put in a library made me realize that art is highly subjective. What I saw as flawed, others found interesting or charming. This unexpected exposure also pushed me to reconsider how I view my own creativity. Sometimes, we are our worst critics, and that negativity can hold us back from sharing our work. Whether it’s a sketch, a doodle, or an amateur painting, putting your art out there can connect you with others and even boost your confidence. If you’re worried about your art not being 'good enough,' remember: the value of art doesn’t lie only in technical skill. Emotional expression, originality, and the story behind a piece matter just as much. Plus, public displays like library exhibitions can be surprising venues where imperfect art finds appreciation. I encourage everyone to embrace imperfections and share their creative work. The positive feedback and unexpected opportunities might surprise you. My library drawing experience reminded me that every artist starts somewhere—and that sometimes, ‘horrible’ drawings can lead to meaningful moments and new friendships.

things I did when I first started reading
things I did when I first started reading and reviewing books that I will never do again 1️⃣ buying a bunch of books WITHOUT reading the back. simply went off vibes and called it good. to be fair they were all thrillers, so basically you know what you get HAHA 2️⃣ refusing to try other genres
