when you go wow, just wow

I found this quote, sitting, as I do these days, alone in my apartment, and just said "Wow!" out loud, to myself. It gives me a lot to think about, maybe it explains why I'm so utterly alone today, as the quote describes practically my whole life, from childhood. I have *always* felt I have to explain myself and prove my worth. So maybe I needed people to walk out on me, or walk away myself.

The moment you feel you have to prove your worth to someone is the moment to absolutely and utterly walk away.

-- Alysia Harris

don't

While I painted and drew this, I brewed a cup of Yogi Tea (Licorice Mint, mmmm...) and found this quote on the teabag: Don't compare yourself to others, be yourself. So this little painting's title is "don't".

have truer words ever been spoken?

I have found this to be true so often, not always, but really, really often.

"The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubt, while the stupid people are full of confidence."

-- Charles Bukowski
