I'm certified clumsy
On embracing vs. fighting labels
Do you have a label that you wear as a badge of honor, or one that you hide away in a closet? Does it help you understand who you are, or make you feel boxed in? I would love to hear your take in the comments.
Wonder how I make a Sketchpad like this? I made a short vlog in which I show you my process.
Lovely and moving. This made me reflect on how much things have changed in my lifetime. The only choice we had in the 1970s was taking the labels and affixing them to the boxes society is so eager in which to place us. You were 'just' clumsy, timid, dumb, etc., like you were tall, handsome, good-at-school. Advancements in natural (the x-ray) and human (the diagnosis) sciences have increased our knowledge, but they've come with their own challenges - as you note, not wanting newer understandings to become new labels that restrict rather than liberate. Side note: My wine glasses are always nervous about getting broken, but that is definitely not because of my phalanges!
Awesome
So love this
Glad you’ve made friends with the BEAST
We all need to do that!
