"You know that can take an intense amount of schooling, purchasing ridiculously expensive equipment, and besides, even if your any good, odds are nobody's gonna see your shit anyway unless you're really lucky, like lottery lucky. If you don't mind that aspect of it, sure. Be a photographer."
"I would like to be a professional photographer one day. I think it would be really neat."

Later, aspects of the definition of "Dream-Crusher" were stretched to back handed complements and just plain being an asshole.

So in creating this blog, I plan to document the occurrences in my life which involve dream-crushing, both by my own doing and by my friends and other people around me.
Please feel free to comment or add any that I have missed...

Today someone asked "why are you even in this class" after seeing one of my drawings in portrait drawing class and being a little frustrated at there own work.
ReplyDeleteThough I know I'm not amazing or anything at drawing, I still responded without thinking "I don't know. Maybe I felt it would help out my self confidence a little."

At the gym two weeks ago I bumped into someone I see around occasionally.
ReplyDeleteThem: "Wow, you look good"
Me: "Um Ok....I mean thanks"
Them: "I think I've gained weight since I've been here. How do I look, I mean, in comparison to when you last saw me"-this is where they spin around some.
Me: "I...don't remember"
People actually do this?
ReplyDeleteThe gym is a weird place and I really prefer to not talk to anybody there. Was someone I used to date too (like one date). But yeah, people actually do this.
