growing up, my parents always told me i
was the artistic one in the family.

What they meant: unlike my brother, i did not color my
coloring books entirely blue.

What i heard: “Katie, you were born to be an artist.”

from then on, i took my art seriously

in elementary school, I flew
through coloring books.

middle school, I took to body art and temporary
tattoos composed of pastel milky pens.

in high school, my notebooks contained
more illustrations than words.

it wasn’t until my college studio
art class that I finally realized
![Page 10: The story of instagram](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554cd176b4c905d6488b480b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
my parents lied to me.
(they swear it was out of love)
![Page 11: The story of instagram](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554cd176b4c905d6488b480b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
I was no artist compared to the other
ridiculously talented people in my class.
(let’s face it, I giggled too much to even draw a butt.)
![Page 12: The story of instagram](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554cd176b4c905d6488b480b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
You name it: pastels
water colors
oil
acrylic
calligraphy
printmaking
POTTERY
they were good at it.
![Page 13: The story of instagram](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554cd176b4c905d6488b480b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
and if they were “artists”
surely i was not.
![Page 14: The story of instagram](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554cd176b4c905d6488b480b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
so i traded in my charcoal pencils
and majored in business.

I tried very hard to
forget art.

my dream was dead.
![Page 17: The story of instagram](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554cd176b4c905d6488b480b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
OK, OK, EVEN WANNABE FAKE ARTISTS CAN BE A LITTLE DRAMATIC SOMETIMES.
(BUT IT REALLY WAS DEAD.*)
(*DEADER THAN DEAD.)
