Watch Me Digital Scrapbook: Week 37 2019

Thank you Marisa. I wrote a long comment about how your scrapbooking made me believe that my life was actually worth sharing and talking about & scrapbooking about (it's a new hobby of mine and I'm not any good, I don't have Photoshop or a lot of computer skill), but I had to put a picture up and it deleted my whole comment.
I still want to write even if I cannot put into words now what I felt the moment you made me feel it. I felt so good, Marisa, like even if I do not have kids, even I am not particularly wealthy, quite the contrary!!!, and do not have a life worth being incredibly happy and proud (I am happy, don't misunderstand me, I am happy and proud of my work, to me, it is everything) about according to society's expectations & standards for people, I have something to contribute anyway. I am a social worker and when people ask me if I have kids, I answer usually something like "Yes, about 1000" after trying to not answer. There is nothing I wouldn't do, I would literally die for any kid that I meet at work and not only because it's my job to protect them. I don't want some of my own and I recently became confidant enough to say it out loud. Not super loud, but still... getting there. And I know I am not a woman, so it is not half the battle as it is for women who chose not to have kids -for any number of perfectly good and sound reasons-. Anyway, as you can see, it's still something I feel weird about and feel the need to explain, but thank you so much for making me see what scrapbooking is about. Remembering the little things in life, which usually turn out to be the biggest of them all.
