This last class was just another class it seemed. There were
some good projects…some last minute projects…my project that didn’t turn out as
well as I had planned in my head. I loved the puzzle, because all butts are
great. I also liked the sketch book turned glitter bomb book. But I want to get
back to ….
All Butts are Great
My insecurities make me feel like skinny people are judging
me for being overweight. I could never know what someone else thinks about me
or other “big kids.” But I project my judgement of myself onto the others. I’m
uncomfortable in my own skin so how could anyone else be comfortable looking at
me? But when I heard “all butts are great” coming from someone who does not
look like she’s ever struggled with her weight, it makes me realize, I’m
probably a harsher judge of myself than others are of me. People have their own
problems and probably don’t give me a single thought.
Other than that…
I really enjoyed Eric’s capstone project. It really struck a
chord with me. My mom is battling cancer and has been for 10 years. People are
always asking how she’s doing, how I’m doing, how the family’s doing… and it is
very easy to get annoyed with the question. But in taking a moment to think
that others might be uncomfortable and yet genuinly concerned… it would make
the annoyance seem less important.
