This afternoon, I was looking for an interesting blog that has an interesting friend of mine. Finally I found it and I saw that she wrote a "description" about her mind, likes and personality (the title of this writing is homonymous as her), here's the link, if you want to read it:
She tells that she's so creative, and likes to create characters and unusual clothes for them, and also to create histories and to use different styles of drawing (american, japanese, lords and dragons, etc.)
I have to admit that I like this world, but just to having fun reading or maybe to be fascinated with the style of characters. When I was younger (as 7 or 8 years old) I tried to learn how to draw correctly. Logically I couldn't draw anything with any real thing (to summarize, my draws were horrible). Time after I've tried it again, and I think that I haven't improved anything since then... I have realized that I don't like to create histories and characters, I see it as a very difficult thing. I don't worth to be creative, it has ever been my handicap and since I were a child, I didn't get high marks in language because of my "creative writings". As you can see, I just like to express my feelings and thinks, to create and think about perfect places or personalities, but there're just concepts.
I see those manga drawings just as... drawings. I've seen so many animes in TV and when I see some draw about those typical big-eyed people, its difficult for me to see the effort that're behind them. I'm not saying that I don't value that effort, some of my "tresaures" are manga drawings, but they've something that I don't see in those typical pictures, a history behind them. I mean, they are like symbols of moments or feelings, and when I see them I feel the feeling that I experimented before, or I remembered what happened etc. I really thing that these symbols, these histories that are behind some "simple" objects, are the most valuable gift that someone's can receive. When I see people giving rings, necklaces, roses... I see them like empty gifts, they're just gifts that "have" to be given. Gifts that I think that have the most value, are those that are given in any moment, not just in "special moments" (christmas, birthdays...). Those that really means something for the couple, and just they feels what the gift hides.
But of course, all we likes to receive gifts. And I'm not an exception.
