I just finished watching Being Elmo with the Mikey. I really wish that I felt that I deserved to figure out how to make stuff and make things happen when I was young.
I love Muppets and would sometimes make the craptastic sock puppets. I would get discouraged, though, cuz it wasn't what I ultimately wanted to make and figure I didn't deserve to know how.
I realize I have this mind set most times and have to break it. I think that's why when I had Ami, things clicked. I can do shit.
It has helped me accept criticism and use it to better myself and surroundings.
It's kind of neat.
A recent instance of stupid brain is last week at derby, I was actually taught cross overs.
I taught myself how to skate and taught cross overs to myself like 2 years ago just by watching the ppl at open skate.
Because I couldn't cut corners and maneuver as well as the better skaters, I chalked it up to just something I couldn't do and never thought there was something I could do differently.
Shit has changed. I feel like I can do anything. I can learn how to do shit and rewire my brain.
I can make puppets.
So I'm gonna.
Sesame Street, here I come!
