I didn't choose it.
I'm wondering what it was.
And I suppose it's the body needs to let go of stuff, right?
Maybe my subconscious is saying, you're not going to do this, so...
we're going to do it or something.
I, I, but I cried for a good half an hour and lay down and, and then felt better for it.
But yeah, it's a very good question and I don't think I carry it very well, but I do see it as, as a privilege.
You know, I had a brilliant therapist once who was actually an ex Franciscan monk.
And he said, when people tell you their, their weight, their sadness, anything,
their failings whatever it is they tell you treat it like someone's they're giving you gold receive it like they're giving you gold and i always think of that line when someone's telling me they've been in rehab for three years and a drawing has helped them and i just imagine them doing that yes you know and i find it really overwhelming um to see it that way so in a sense it's a privilege but to carry it we can't really
That's a lovely thing to say.
I mean, I think I'm usually lost for words.
Because you'll feel it.
You feel it.
And sometimes there's a long silence where someone just says something and you look at them.
The first time it happened was when I first started doing these drawings and I put on an exhibition in the gallery and didn't think anyone would really come.
You know, my mum maybe and my sister and friends might turn up.
And it was quite scary.
Yeah.
and i remember a girl bringing her boyfriend to see me and he was huge he looked like he played rugby for ireland you know number eight or something and she said this is whoever and i said hello with johnny said hi and he looked at me and i was sitting down and he just looked at me and he had tears pouring down his face and i looked at him and then i had tears pouring down my face and i held his hand and then gave him a hug and um we never spoke
