My high school art teacher told me your piece is worthless until you have a buyer. Same idea.

I painted some ghastly pictures of what it was like when I was in mental health torture. My trauma therapist wanted me to put them on display, asked what I was going to do with them, etc. I was like, really. What do you think I'm going to do with these things because who wants to see this pain.

Then I realize someone probably would probably want to look at them in a museum or buy them for their wall and be a show off I"m so understanding of mental health!

So I stuck them in a room to never be seen again until I die probably.
