David's Story
'Strangers Aren't That Scary'
Before I came I was a lonely serial doom scroller too avoidant to venture out. Maybe it was Covid Locked-In Syndrome, but besides work, I was a pretty dull boy.
Then I saw a flyer that made me quietly chuckle to myself. How ridiculous was it to intentionally make bad art? But I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I signed up and was welcomed warmly without fanfare or any hint of exclusivity, which immediately put me at ease.
We were invited to relax and engage without thinking, which helped me get out of my head. By the end, I was comfortably chatting with the others. Then, I heard someone say, 'turns out strangers aren't that scary,' which summed it all up perfectly.
Thank you, Bad Art Club!
