What the Heart Wants (Creative Notes #66)

It's a long day whenever these two aren't getting along ':)

Update: Look for new episodes of Creative Notes every Wednesday on the Tinyview app! https://tinyview.com/connie

[4-panel comic of a girl with a bun at her desk, trying to get her heart and creativity to work together. Panel 1: the girl says in frustration to a heart and lightbulb, not speaking together, "Seriously, what's it going to take for you to work together?" Panel 2: the heart whispers something inaudible in her ear. Panel 3: the girl paraphrases the heart: "You need to feel loved and validated?" Panel 4: the light bulb rolls its eyes and thinks "Oh puh-leaze," while the heart angrily stews and the girl walks away wearily and says, "Gonna be a long day." From episode 66 of Creative Notes, an original webcomic series by Connie Sun, cartoonconnie, 2022, for Tinyview comics https://tinyview.com/connie]

I hear ya, Heart! I was just talking to the "counsellor" of a special needs school. She told me that when she knows a student wants validation, she doesn't give it to them. This is supposed to help. I guess.

Anna, that’s dreadful. Did she give a reason or an anecdote?

Robert, I guess she just thinks that the students want approval for whatever they do, such as "validating" bad behaviour. But having known the woman for several years, one wonders.
