demakatI thought I didn't like eggs.
Someone would offer me scrambled eggs or something and I'd say yeah, thinking that they weren't as bad as I remembered. Three bites in I'd remember how wrong I was, how I wish I hadn't ever put them in my mouth.
So, I thought I didn't like eggs.
Then I had a burger with an egg on it. A sunny-side up egg, because how else are you going to get egg goo everywhere while you eat. It was delicious. I also realized I didn't like eggs because I had been eating them wrong.
I grew up eating sunny-side up eggs like my dad. You dip the toast in the yolk part and then you make an egg sandwich out of the rest. Food magic, I'm sure of it.

I'm having this conflict with drawing. I don't care about drawing people. In fact, I don't really care about people. I care about MY people, but people in general aren't interesting to me. I admire and enjoy artwork that is drawings of people, but personally that has never compelled me to draw.
I miss drawing not people, and I'm mad with myself for thinking that not being able to draw awesome people means I'm not an artist.

I forgot that sunny-side up eggs are what bring me joy and all the people who would shame me for such things can go screw themselves.
