Two Questions: Summary & Response

Trying to please others is a real dread, it can suck the fun out of everything and make you second guess yourself. Two Questions by Lynda Barry is a cartoon about how she lost her passion for drawing and writing.  She use to have fun drawing and writing until the two questions; is this good or does this suck? affected her attitude toward her drawing and writing. When she was a kid she never cared about how her drawing and writing turned out; it was just something she did that made her good. Her feelings started to change when people started to give their opinions about what she drew. A drawing that she thought was good was actually bad. So she spent most of her life trying to just draw good drawings, which made drawing not fun for her anymore. When she stopped worrying about was her drawings good or not, she was able to loosen up and get the floating feeling she felt when she was a kid. I can relate to this cartoon; growing up I loved writing, it use to make me feel free and like I can do anything. When I would write words would just flow and fit together like a puzzle. But know my words don’t flow like I want them to because I always think what if the person that will be reading this doesn’t like it. Thinking about it I always ask myself the two questions; is this good or does this suck? But if I loosen up and not worry is it good or not my words may just start flowing on the paper and I will love writing like I use to.
