I Turn My 20s Decade Into Doodles

我把20多岁的时光变成涂鸦

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.

我清楚地记得那一刻:我坐在办公室里，准备听一场全公司的演讲。我头晕。不，绝对不是在我即将忍受的长达一小时的金融更新和趋势图会议上。我很兴奋，因为我终于意识到我想在2017年做什么。2017年，我打算开设一个涂鸦Instagram账号，并把它作为我的日常日记。几年前大学毕业后，我一直在努力进入“成年期”，从那以后，我一直在寻找更多的东西。我渴望有一个创造性的出口，一个可以帮助我表达我的挣扎，我的胜利，我的……好吧,一切。Instagram账号似乎是让我每天都对绘画负责的完美方式，它在我心中占据着特殊的位置，因为正是在那里，我找到了启发我拥抱简单涂鸦的艺术家:玛丽·安德鲁(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旧的彩色铅笔和马克笔，买了一个10美元的小写生本。我兴奋地画了10个小涂鸦(现在我回头看，非常糟糕……)，这是我在开始一个新项目的兴奋中想到的。我用非常糟糕的光线拍下了一些非常糟糕的照片，瞧，我把它们上传到了我的Instagram新账号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.

一年多来，我每天都贴一幅涂鸦，从中找到了很多乐趣。几十年的涂鸦帮助我成长，用一种我从未想过的方式表达自己。最重要的是，它让我认识了很多很棒的人，他们都像我一样感受、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.

几十年来，doodles教会我，你不必完美无缺，就能开始做某件事，或者让别人理解你。它也教会我，改变可以是令人兴奋的，不管它在哪个阶段——无论是决定开始一个项目还是决定改变它!我最近把我的绘画数字化了，这是一种有趣的节奏变化，让我觉得我仍然在学习和成长为一名艺术家。

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!

能与很多人分享我的想法，我感到非常幸运。所有这一切都是在说:对于任何想要在信仰上有创造性飞跃的人，去做吧。对最重要的人来说，你永远是值得的。也许在这条路上还会遇到其他一些人!
