Trying to pick something dressy to wear to a grad dinner and I am way out of my element 💀 I do not wear dresses. I buy them thinking they’re cute and then never wear them out because they’re not my style, my style doesn’t involve dresses and they feel weird. Ladies, plz help me out and go tell me which one to wear bc if not I fear I will be attending another grad dinner in baggy pants and a hoodie 🫡 I have to leave in an hour and a half😭

I wish I had grown up with adults who helped nurture my creativity, rather than always being told art would never get me anywhere.

I see people I went to school with in elementary, who could have made it to university academically, but they chose art instead. Their parents helped them rather than trying to change their minds. One now has a book published, one just opened her new store to sell handmade rugs. All because they had the support and finances from their families. They made it.

I didn’t even want help with the finances, I just wanted someone to let me know I could do it instead of telling me it’d never work out. Someone to help me learn how to start my own business, and help me find the steps I could take to reach my goals.

They wanted so badly for me to abandon my artistic abilities and be “normal” thinking it would get me somewhere. I graduated 6 years ago now. Did what they wanted and stopped trying to pursue arts…when that was the only thing I’m good at, and now I am still nowhere. I have made it nowhere. I have accomplished nothing because my brain does not work with numbers and charts. It works with art mediums, photography and poetry.

I just wish I could learn how to make it. But nobody is willing to teach me no matter how much I am willing to learn.

If your child wants to pursue something that they’re good at, even if it’s not necessarily “academic”… support them. Help them get there. Forcing them to be what you want, will not help them in the long run. It will not benefit them. It will leave them with a feeling of “I could’ve done way more” for the rest of their lives.

Warm weather = more freedom with clothing and I love that

(This should’ve been worn with better pants but it is what it is)
