Sometimes parents are not so good at showing it. And some take more stock in academic achievement over creative ones, often because of the way they were raised. Have you ever told them it would make you feel good if they praised you for other accomplishments? I hope your own pride in your greatness continues to grow. Believing in yourself is one of the key things to carry you through life.

Hi there, Friend!! Thank-you for ...FlutistPride....<br />Hi there, Friend!! Thank-you for such a real, honest, transparent comment!! For some reason, it spoke to me!! You are such a Beautifully Unique, creative artist.... And I love you for every single aspect of this!! Keep writing. Never stop!! Keep creating. Never stop!! Keep making art. Never stop!! But do it for you. Not your parents' approval. {Easier said than done, I know!!} Do it because it makes you happy!! And {In my case as a writer, an artist who paints pictures with words} do it because it keeps you sane!! ;-D<br />Stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive.... ;)<br />Love you later, Raelyn <br /><br />Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005199691237610718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-62730403867591282032015-05-18T19:38:25.316-04:002015-05-18T19:38:25.316-04:00Beautiful and so sweet, ladies!

Sometimes, I feel like I have to be the perfect child my parents always wanted because I'm the one that "can do it". I have a horrible fear of failure because of this. My parents won't even bat an eye at one of my As because I get so many of them, but I don't think it occurs to them how hard I work for those As. I sometimes feel like they want my academic record and not my creativity, passion, or intuition.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616282351291824392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-71380292696937507222015-05-18T10:16:51.817-04:002015-05-18T10:16:51.817-04:00Ellen, I face the same thing.

My youngest said to me the other day "You always help Shea and not me." But the reality is I HAVE TO help Shea with everything. Getting dressed, going to the bathroom, hands on all the time. It is hard to help your other kids see that.<br />I love how honest and exposed you are in your writing and pictures. The good and bad and full facial of it all!<br />Thanks for sharingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897946822469487284noreply@blogger.com
