I have written a 5 page essay about myself and why I am the way I am. I am considering making it into a zine. But I'm not too sure if I have the following to become "popular" and/or have people be interested in me and what I have to say about life and other things.
This week I've been struck harshly with anxiety. I don't know what it is, but the second half of this week has been better than the first half. In my Communications class, a couple of students have picked on me (so to speak) because I am a feminist, and I believe it is because they do not understand what it means. I don't take offense to being called a feminist (or a bitch for that matter), being a feminist, feminism, etc. That's absurd! A peer asked me what feminism is and I gladly told her, and she seemed pretty pleased. I'm glad someone asked me instead of blindly turning their back on gender equality. At least I've opened someone's eyes.
the thing about creating art is that you should only do it for yourself, and not for anyone else. the moment you start to think about what other people will think, you lose creativity. of course, you always want people to see what you are doing, but that can't be your primary concern. so make your zine! write everything and feel everything - you have nothing to lose! good luck. xo
