Explicación / Explanation:
En aquel momento no tenía ni idea de que aquel intercambio de palabras me serviría para encontrar la respuesta definitiva a la pregunta que me había hecho hacía justo un mes en aquel mismo escenario...
¿Qué hago aqui?
Explanation:
Recapitulating about my second adolescence in the world of the night, which I had t go through from time to time, was much more fun.
But, in any case, the important thing was that I was able to appreciate the best of the experiences I had, both in my teenage take-off and in the leisurely nightlife of my present.
-If you don't feel like it, don't do it! No one is forcing you!
But I did, because it seemed very selfish of me to leave an empty space that could be occupied by any artist. And also because, not going was like going backwards and in the opposite direction to where I was supposed to be going....
Anywhere that would take me away from doing the same old thing, the stinger girl's favourite place! (Drawing "Do-do"/2022 diary)
More than discouraged, I felt exhausted.
I was fed up with the dossier issue!
The recent visit of an old friend who had direct contact with the person in charge of the exhibition hall in her town's town hall, made me feel rushed.
I had agreed to send it to her, and so I had been devoting all the free time I had to the dossier for days.
I was fed up! The only thing I wanted to do was to start drawing... But, between one thing and another, I didn't find the time to do it until the morning of the event.
This time, unlike the second image I had started out of my comfort zone, it wasn't a single sentence that inspired me...
That morning I found myself in such a busy passageway that I could hardly concentrate on drawing for more than five minutes at a time.
So I started this picture without having the slightest idea where it would lead me. The good thing was that when I saw that all that appeared were leaves and little flowers, I was filled with optimism.
What if it meant that my intensive summer of lessons was finally paying off? Maybe...
I didn't know.
In any case, I was happy that it was already autumn, my favourite season of the year, which that time I started with my voluntary dismissal from the task that consumed me so many hours a day.
Overnight, the conditions changed, I didn't like them, and I didn't think twice about it. I just said to myself: More free time and less stress!
It was a real liberation!
Saying goodbye to an occupation, without having a plan B, and feeling great was not something new. I had experienced it before! And to overcome the discomfort that uncertainty could create in me, I decided to focus on the advantages.
First, closing a door opened up many possibilities for something new to happen.
Secondly, I had extra time I hadn't counted on.
Although it was none of that what I thought about during the event....
It was my third exhibition.
To my surprise, it ended up being the best of them all! I made the minimum effort and had much more fun than in the previous ones.
Not only did I find a way to spread my work around the space I had been given without having to set up the tent that made me feel like I was locked in a cave, but there were so many people I interacted with that I didn't have time to get bored.
I spent the whole day chatting to one and all. But of all the conversations, the only one I remember was the one I had with a ten-yeared-old girl.
"I share what I am. I draw what I live and I live what I draw".
-Of course you do, why do you say that?- I exclaimed in surprise.
- Because it's not true, you can't live that!- she answered pointing to my Goddess of Inspiration.
She looked at me incredulously, and without saying a word, she turned around and left. That was all.
At that moment I had no idea that this exchange of words would help me to find the definitive answer to the question I had asked myself just a month before in that same scenario...
What am I doing here?
