Not sure where to post this, so here it goes.
It must come to an end
For even though we lived a good one
It's time to go away
Remember the good times you had|
and all the fun you had
'cause it's time to go away
But if you have a strong friendship
you might remember them in your next life!
But sadly, it's time to go away
This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨
Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
So true. And other times they utterly wreck your ability to function out of nowhere.
I interned at a kindergarten once and was on breakfast duty sometimes. Meant you had to meet at 5 in the morning and prepare breakfast for all the early birds who were dropped off at 6.
They'd always sit there, so sleepy and slow and soft in their movements. Gradually they'd liven up after a bowl of cornflakes or a piece of toast with butter and cheese. Then one by one they would leave the table and run into the playroom and start their day.
There would always be a few leftover kids who were extra slow.
This morning there were two boys left. Both 4 years old at the time. They sit there and one of them has the "lights are on but no one's home" look in his eyes while he's chewing his food. The other one is a bit more lively and he looks up at his friend while I'm putting plates in the dishwasher and he says:
"Hey A?"
A: "Mh?"
B: "is it hard for you to pee in the morning?"
A: "Mh."
B: "I think it's very annoying. I can never hit the toilet bowl because my weenie is all pointy in the morning. Is it like that for you too?"
A: "Mh."
B: "it's so annoying."
Meanwhile I have silently collapsed on all fours behind the counter, trying NOT to laugh.
Took me a few minutes before I was able to return to my job with a neutral face. They are so precious. It was some of the best things about working with kids. Getting to experience the world through their eyes and be confused and amazed alongside them. And then sometimes they just throw a curveball out of nowhere and you just can't react with laughter because they don't know why it's funny and will think you're mocking or shaming them for something they can't control.
I still cannot comprehend that they are adults now. 20 this year. Those sweet little toddlers with their funny or profound observations. I wish I remembered some of the profound things they said back then, because I know they did, but alas, I mostly remember the accidentally funny things.
