Wow Wow Wow!!! What an amazing comment. You have the rarest of gifts, an unbridled joy for life. I am so grateful for coming across the post about you today, because people like you are the only hope our world has! As I have said in previous posts, I don't keep much, I just enjoy the objects as they pass through my hands. Don't ever stop being you @pitterpatter

Omy you got tears flowing.
It took a long time to get to where I am. Sheer hell growing up. I lived with monsters yet had the touch of grace on me to help me not ruin my life. Some of the drawings I did back then showed me I had darkness in me and I could turn out like my abusers or worse. I'm sure no one starts out wanting to hurt or kill children.
When we are ready a teacher will come even if it's comes in a sentense or two and you never see them again.
Someone once told me and I can't remember who it was. >
"There are treasures in hell that can't be found anywhere else.. Don't waste your time with pity parties you won't be there forever."
I was completely alone and through that quiet time I found a best friend > an amazing friend I may never have found this person any other way. That friend was me. On the outside I heard how useless and stupid and worthless I was. I was told to kill myself just before a newspaper interview about my art > and almost did if it wasn't for the inner voice that gave me better advise. > So I did the interview with a red face and a tear stained face.
Later on in an art show I was given a student award for best graphics and met one of the judges that became my mentor. He taught me more about life than art and it got me pointed in the right direction from then on.
I'm living an amazing life. I still have a long way to go but it proves we all have our mission papers in life and if we don't do it no one else will. That is how improtant we all are. We all have our pain and no one's pain is worse than anothers. So > no excuses > Our mission is to know what we have to do in life and it seems you have found one of yours.
Now I feel tearful! And that quote, oh my goodness!!! I am blessed with an amazing family, but have gone through so many intense experiences. That's why that quote really speaks to me. It is so true about teachers we find along the way, and that even a sentence can be a teacher. You are very inspiring. And you have unbelievable strength to have survived, so you were made to make your mark on this world.
All of us have marks on the world. I hope to reach mine
and I hope you get to know the feeling of reaching yours.
It's a wonderful feeling when you reach your target in sports.
There is no words to describe what it feels like when you reach one in life.
We don't get, only, one bulls-eye for our life-time we have many and it bolsters every being within when we hit them.
I am very happy to have discovered you. 💖
There are no accidents. I am blessed to have you brought into my light. there are some people you meet and then there are some people who make you grow.
