😁 … For many years I’ve worried about what others thought, and I installed dampers on my “art” projects because for some reason I offend people very easily. It’s kind of been that way all my life … it’s either I offend them or I, care too much about others feelings, like there’s no middle ground. So in the past couple of years I’ve started this thing … well, more than just a thing, really. It’s a project without the installation of any dampers. The fire can be so big it can melt 🫠 everything around me and I’m not going to care, because it’s my fire and not anybody else’s.
   🤔 … I’ve overcome the fear of offending others 😳🙂 and honestly? It feels great.
   Oh yeah! How did I do it? Those lovely walls again 😁… I don’t get close to people anymore. I get invited to places to say “Sure” … To not even go … Can’t worry about offending someone if I’m not letting them get close enough to be offended in the first place.
    It’s probably not the healthiest solution, but it works well.
      Now my work gets to be what it actually is instead of some watered-down, edited versions … because I offended someone, an uncensored version designed not to ruffle feathers. If they get offended over something that’s not about them, I think “If the Shoe Fits”, it’s not my problem.
       … Turns out … when I stopped caring about other people’s reactions, I finally got to see what I’m actually capable of creating.
