I started out doing these drawings for my teenage daughters many years ago. Because of that I have a number of teenagers who follow the blog. Some even have their own blogs. It’s great to see their perceptions as they grow.
Today I read a post where the young person had come to a realization that she needed to bring positive people into her life, people who look at the world and see the good. She isn’t unaware of the hardships, the disappointments and the pain of life. But she sees no value in surrounding herself with people who ONLY see that. Who have created a world for themselves where that is all they pay attention to. Their attitude has created their negative world.
She is leaving that behind and finding people who are inclined towards the good in life. I am proud of her for coming to that understanding. It will likely be something she will have to remind herself of again and again through life. But how cool is it to see someone understand that early on.
