You’re So Creative!

A Ballad of Comments

You have such great ideas.
I wish I had your ideas!
Where do you even come up with this stuff?
How does someone think of that?
I would never have thought of that!

You're so talented!
If only I had your talent!
How do you even do it?
And you make it look so easy!
Well, some people just have it.

I could never do that.
I just wouldn’t have the time.
I'm not really the crafty type.
Oh, I can’t draw at all.
I can only do stick figures.
I used to draw too—back in the day.

Draw something!
Draw me!

My wife paints too.
Not really my thing, though.
My daughter actually draws better.
Even I could’ve pulled that off.

You and your art.
You should make a book about it.

Wait, you came up with all of that on your own?
How long did it take?
What pen did you use?
Did you do it in Photoshop?
AI is doing that now.

Can you just do it real quick?
You’ll think of something.
You always think of something.
You can really let yourself go with this one.
You’ll knock it out in no time.
You’re so good at this.
You got this.
I trust you.
I’d do it myself—if I had the time.
Looks finished to me.

Did you study this?
Isn’t that just a hobby?
It’s an actual job?!
Must be nice, turning your hobby into a career.

Wait, you can go to school for that?!
Do people still need that nowadays?
So what do you do with it?
Is there money in that?
That’s not real work.
Have you thought about getting a real job?

I’d love your job!
I’d also love to just sit around and paint a bit.
Did you get paid for that?
Can you actually live off this?
But they’re not offering you a permanent position?

It costs that much?!
But you enjoy doing it!

Ah, you’re one of those creative types.
Have you really thought this through?
That’s so brave.
