OOPS.

Many have made worse mistakes before you. Adam and Eve ate the apple and warriors turned to stone meeting eyes with Medusa. At least your slip wasn't history-altering. Relax.

Whether full pieces or mindless doodles, I always tossed things in the trash at small imperfections, leaving my parents to fish my art from discard piles to put on the fridge. They taught me imperfection isn’t bad at all. Seeking a little chuckle here and there, the short centers around the relatable feeling of overthinking and dramatizing our mistakes, when in reality they’re not the end of the world. (Thank you, mom + dad, for the idea!)
