Me at age 5 with a crayon vs. me at age 25! same energy, different results 😭🖍️
Let's be honest for a second.
When you were five years old, you picked up a crayon and you were convinced you were an artist. You drew your family. Sure, everyone had circular heads, stick arms, and absolutely no necks — but it was art. It was your art. And you were proud of it.
Now you're older. You pick up a crayon today and… it's worse. Somehow it's worse. The five-year-old version of you had more confidence, more colour, and zero self-doubt.
And the internet? The internet is absolutely eating this up.
