I never realized before how much differently people treat you by how old they think you are. I can't drive right now, no one would believe my ID is me. And gods know Nico is overprotective enough right now. So I haven't really had many opportunities to leave the house. I've been doing all my classwork online for now, and just for a change of scenery decided to go to a coffee shop.
I'm an art major. Specifically, I'm studying cgi and animation. So most of my classwork is... drawing. And the amount of people who came up to me today as I was working on my sketches to be patronizing was just insane. Yes, I'm sitting here and doing art. No I'm not doing "silly drawings instead of my homework", yes it's nice that your child is "a little artist too". No I can't draw you whatever you ask for and give it to you (or more insultingly, sell it to you for five dollars or less). I'm already busy with what I'm already drawing.
And artists get enough of the last part as it is, with people both consuming our work without appreciating that it is work as it is. But when I'm thirteen again...
I don't know, maybe being thirteen again is affecting my hormones. Or maybe I never realized how annoying it was when I was thirteen the first time.
