Running away from responsibilities to watch cartoons like
The Why-Can’t-Anyone-See-Through-My-Obvious-Disguise Club.
Got a quick screen grab so you could see what I was talking about.
WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE. WHOEVER MADE THAT NEEDS TO FIGHT ME
honestly this mindset hurts kids who love the arts so much.
imagine constantly fighting high school councilors just to get into the one class that keeps you alive.
imagine constantly lying to teachers about what you plan on majoring so you don’t get “the talk”
imagine no one you love believing in you, and constantly asking what your “back up plan” is.
imagine being kind of miserable at your own graduation and grad party because people are always asking you about your future, and when you tell them they just look at you like your stupid.imagine constantly being told that what you do isn’t good enough. that you’ll never succeed without changing who you are.
imagine having to try to stop yourself from flat out breaking down and sobbing in front of your professor after your first lesson, because they simply told you “you know what? I think you can do this. If you work hard I think you can be very successful in this field.”
because that’s the first time anyone’s actually believed in you.
yeah, science is great, but putting it above the arts is one of the biggest mistakes this society has ever made.
^^^^^ This is really well put. ^^^^^
^^^ “yeah, science is great, but putting it above the arts is one of the biggest mistakes this society has ever made.” yes
And even people who are interested in STEM fields as their main job – they don’t have to give up their artistic passions to excel at science. I’m an engineering student. I make certain to fit in ballet classes every semester, despite my advisor giving me the side-eye. It’s not so I can ‘look well-rounded’ on my resume or anything, it’s simply because I love it – plus, if I didn’t have an artistic outlet, I’d be absolutely miserable.
The arts are so, so important, and it makes me really sad when people believe that they’re somehow less important than science simply because… yeah. I feel like the importance of art in society and history is always diminished – without artists, science wouldn’t be where it is today.
