DRAWINGS SPOKE WHEN I COULD NOT

I'm so grateful my parent kept my drawings and writings when I was a child.

In many ways I was mute.

Excruciatingly shy.

I internalised.

I masked.

A whole world was living inside of me.

Drawing and writing brought some of my inner world to the outside world.

To those closest to me.

I still practice this today.

"Except now I can talk" - a lot!

Perhaps too much!

lol

I pay attention to what my child loves and enjoys.

And how they communicate through other means than words.
