still matters

there were three of us in the print shop this weekend. myself and two really cool other females.

i ask their opinion on scrawling some ink or pencil over my failing prints in hopes of reviving them. they croon approval and head back to their own piles of still left to finish work.

girl whose work takes my breath away says to girl who is brave and beautiful

(regarding me!)

"i really admire how she takes such risks with her work."

i'm astounded. i preach a windfall about feeling stumped and cowardly.

they look at each other as if i must have never gotten a good look at myself.

i've stacked and stacked units of "what people think doesn't matter" into a tall suess-like tower. figuring this approach is thorough, and therefore, foolproof. still, a compliment wriggles in and

quenches

and

soothes

and

hurts.
