For the longest time, I always thought I wanted to be an artist.
#and in a roundabout sort of way i am#and i doubt i'll ever make anything that's ���worthy” enough to hang in a museum or gallery#but sometimes it's a lot more gratifying inspiring other people and helping them make stuff#helped a kid in my class today who didn't have a parent with them make a flower and a bat and a butterfly#they just needed a lot of help but they were so proud of that flower they made and were so excited they could take it home#another kid made the cutest bunny and a little diorama for it out of a piece of bark and literal trash we picked up on the trail#even made a little tail out of a gold sequin that they magically collected from somewhere#had another kid bring back a whole ass tumbleweed with grand ambitions to decorate it but then had a sudden change of plans#so sure you can draw a cat on your piece of origami paper with the hot glue gun kid just don't burn yourself or use all the glue sticks#i don't know what the moral of this story is but look i just had a nice day okay#some days i'm out there attempting to save a whole ass ecosystem and trying to convince people to give a shit#other days hanging out with kids and gluing bits of nicely folded paper to a twig#rambling into the void#little ghost on the prairie#tag essay
