The Beginning!!!
–Losing “identity”- expresses my state of mind when I got sick.
I was diagnosed three years ago with Parry Romberg Syndrome but I’ve been sick for many years before.
I remember I had these dreams when I was young, I always dreamed to be a famous painter ... Just dreams!!!! One of my qualities at that time I thought it was my physical beauty which I lost it when I got ill.
My dream of being a painter vanished when SOMEONE dear told me that I can’t have a future as a painter, and it won’t bring food at the table. So?!I had to leave it behind! I was hurt cause that person made me love drawing but I went along with so called CHILDHOOD.
In general school I had a teacher of arts and he never saw me different. Sometimes when we had to draw and I had the best drawings but the smallest grades, it was so strange then?! He always left the door at his “small studio” open, I guess he knew I was borrowing his paintings because now after all these years when I meet him on the street he tells me how proud he is and speaks of my talent and all the good things that he things I have and he also let me know about his borrowed paintings!!
I haven’t realized much in that period so here is where the next draw comes so I can finish my story …..
