i found an old “to-do” list in my mom’s handwriting from 2003. item #3 was “buy a new dress for myself.” it was crossed out, and underneath she wrote, “buy school shoes for little lamb.” that's me, i’m little lamb. i looked at my shelf of medals and certificates and realized they were all paid for in dresses she never wore
and more books to read and more paintings to learn about. the world is filled with art; go seek it out. don't rely on these algorithms. buy random dvds at the charity shop and get a library card. art is the curing of callousness. your life will be better for it, i promise.
