#he never acknowledged that and i think he probably forgot it sll

"I've never been important in my life"

-Looks at my framed (state) art Ed association award for outstanding club sponsor-

Tbh idk how they figured out I even hosted and it's probably bs but I did feel cool

Tho my dad tried to post pics of sloth from the goonies in the zoom chat while an artist speaker was talking about learning how to enrich her son's autism and help him make art and all, and I had to tear his ass apart for daring to pull that. Luckily there was no way to post images, and she was prerecorded, but fucking hell dude

I reframed it with "it means so much to me that she's not only recognizing her son's needs, but finding ways to help him develop art and communication around it. It took me til I was 28 to get diagnosed with ADHD and I struggled constantly. I'm not even on med that are super useful bc of my inexplicable blood pressure mystery issues, but the ones I'm on helped so much. I wish someone helped me incorporate my struggles in a useful way"

"I'm so sorry I gave you the ADHD, it's awful"

BITCH YOU NEVER FUCKING ROLD ME YOU HAD IT, AND NEITHER DID MOM

You fuckers.

I have a bunch of framed student work and an incredible card a kid wrote me last year, that's all way more genuine

My ceramics teacher in HS was the one adult who gave a fuck about me, I hope I get more emails from former students down the line about how they felt heard. That's the real deal dawg
