I Turn My 20s Decade Into Doodles

我把20多歲的時(shí)光變成涂鴉

I remember the moment so distinctly: I was sitting at work, getting ready to listen to an all-company presentation. I was giddy. And no, definitely not over the hour-long meeting of finance updates and trend graphs I was about to endure. I was giddy because I finally realized what I wanted to do with the year 2017. 2017 was the year I was going to start a doodle Instagram account, and use it as my daily diary. I had been struggling with getting into the swing of "adulthood" after graduating from college a few years prior, and had been searching for something more ever since. I was longing for a creative outlet, one that could help me express my struggles, my wins, my... well, everything. An Instagram account seemed like the perfect way to hold me accountable to drawing every day, and it held a special place in my heart because it's where I found the artist who inspired me to embrace simple doodling: Mari Andrew.

我清楚地記得那一刻:我坐在辦公室里，準(zhǔn)備聽一場全公司的演講。我頭暈。不，絕對不是在我即將忍受的長達(dá)一小時(shí)的金融更新和趨勢圖會議上。我很興奮，因?yàn)槲医K于意識到我想在2017年做什么。2017年，我打算開設(shè)一個(gè)涂鴉Instagram賬號，并把它作為我的日常日記。幾年前大學(xué)畢業(yè)后，我一直在努力進(jìn)入“成年期”，從那以后，我一直在尋找更多的東西。我渴望有一個(gè)創(chuàng)造性的出口，一個(gè)可以幫助我表達(dá)我的掙扎，我的勝利，我的……好吧,一切。Instagram賬號似乎是讓我每天都對繪畫負(fù)責(zé)的完美方式，它在我心中占據(jù)著特殊的位置，因?yàn)檎窃谀抢?，我找到了啟發(fā)我擁抱簡單涂鴉的藝術(shù)家:瑪麗·安德魯(Mari Andrew)。

So, I rummaged around my apartment for some old colored pencils and markers and purchased a small $10 sketchbook. I excitingly drew 10 little (and very bad, now that I look back at them...) doodles I had thought up out of the excitement of starting a new project. I snapped some very bad pictures of them in some very bad light, and voila: uploaded them to my new Instagram account Decade2Doodles.

所以，我在我的公寓里翻找了一些舊的彩色鉛筆和馬克筆，買了一個(gè)10美元的小寫生本。我興奮地畫了10個(gè)小涂鴉(現(xiàn)在我回頭看，非常糟糕……)，這是我在開始一個(gè)新項(xiàng)目的興奮中想到的。我用非常糟糕的光線拍下了一些非常糟糕的照片，瞧，我把它們上傳到了我的Instagram新賬號Decade2Doodles上。

I posted a doodle a day every day for over a year and found so much joy in doing so. Decade2Doodles helped me grow and express myself in a way I had never expected. And, best of all, it introduced me to a whole lot of wonderful people out there, all feeling and sharing and hoping and living just like me.

一年多來，我每天都貼一幅涂鴉，從中找到了很多樂趣。幾十年的涂鴉幫助我成長，用一種我從未想過的方式表達(dá)自己。最重要的是，它讓我認(rèn)識了很多很棒的人，他們都像我一樣感受、分享、希望和生活。

Decade2Doodles taught me that you don't have to be perfect to start something or be understood. It's also taught me that change can be exciting, no matter which stage it's at - whether it's the decision to start a project or the decision to switch it up! I recently went digital with my drawings, which has been a fun change of pace and makes me feel like I'm still learning and growing as an artist.

幾十年來，doodles教會我，你不必完美無缺，就能開始做某件事，或者讓別人理解你。它也教會我，改變可以是令人興奮的，不管它在哪個(gè)階段——無論是決定開始一個(gè)項(xiàng)目還是決定改變它!我最近把我的繪畫數(shù)字化了，這是一種有趣的節(jié)奏變化，讓我覺得我仍然在學(xué)習(xí)和成長為一名藝術(shù)家。

I feel incredibly lucky to be able to share my thoughts with so many people. All of this is to say: for anyone looking to take a creative leap of faith - do it. It will always be worth it for the most important person out there: you. And maybe some others along the way, too!

能與很多人分享我的想法，我感到非常幸運(yùn)。所有這一切都是在說:對于任何想要在信仰上有創(chuàng)造性飛躍的人，去做吧。對最重要的人來說，你永遠(yuǎn)是值得的。也許在這條路上還會遇到其他一些人!
