Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

WOAH

HEY

WOAH HEY

HEY YOU

YEAH YOU ANON YOU COME HERE A SECOND, YEAH I MEAN YOU COME HERE AND SIT RIGHT DOWN ON MY LAP I'MA BE ONE BIG JOLLY OLD SANTA FOR A SECOND SO YOU’D BETTER BE LISTENING UP KID ‘CAUSE I’M GOING TO FILL UP THOSE EARS LIKE A PAIR OF CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS oh wait you’re reading this right okay well just BEAR WITH ME FOR A PARAGRAPH OR SO BECAUSE YOU ARE WONDERFUL.

You are wonderful.

You are a wonderful, unique person, and you are kind and generous enough to send a message like this to me and you are brave and honest enough to say how lucky I am/was/will doubtless be and you are so so right because I am just so grateful that things turned out the way that they did with my (ongoing) education but part of that is due to the fact that I am IMMENSELY aware of the fact that it was all so unlikely and how many others won’t have the luck and privilege that I have had so it’s my bloody duty not to abuse or deny any of it and say that yes, that what I have been able to experience and share and learn and the places I have learned it in have been marvelously valuable and unusual but the hardest and biggest and most important lessons I have learned have been when things have been going wrong and have been awful and dreadful and I didn’t think they were ever going to end but they did and I didn’t wait for people to save me but I had people to push me to help me save myself and remember that one bad day is not enough to stop you trying to create something good and great and that if one person says something is not great that doesn’t mean that it is especially when there are ten people saying it is and you have to listen to them and you even if it’s hard to listen to those eleven people over the one other jackass because hey humans are just lousy at maths like that and also dealing with things like infinity because that’s another very very big reason is why is it so, so important to be you and remember that you are you and that’s just AMAZING because nobody else in the entire universe can be you, no other person in any other universe can be you, you are the only you that is here and now and was yesterday and will be tomorrow and that’s just so fantastic do you even know how brilliant that is I mean it is so just

ABSOLUTELY

WONDERFUL

so excuse me while I kick the fact that you are twenty three or fifty five or sixty thousand years old down the stairs because I don’t give a flying fuck about that and neither should you or anybody else because YOU ARE YOU

WOW

DAMN

SEE YOU ON SATURDAY p.s. I’ll be dressed up as Wall-E and the goggles make it kind of hard to see so you’ll probably have to come right up and tap me on the shoulder if you want to talk but yeah that’d be cool but you don’t have to if you don’t want to because that’s cool too okay xxx
