And take them at their word, even if you can’t yet see what they see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes in life, we are the butterflies.

(I'm withholding his last name because I am sure he matured into a nice man with great kids and has started a charity to feed homeless cats.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut he was a jerk back then.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe looked like a swollen eggplant with hair. A year older than me, John B. never punched me or beat me up. He never separated me from my lunch money. No, John was an orator, preferring to use his words to belittle and humiliate me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt all began when we had to draw our shoes in art class and the teacher hung our work in the hallway. Now my brothers and I weren't lacking anything we needed, but our family didn't have the money for name-brand shoes. Nikes were a pipe dream so I had to settle for Nucleus high tops instead. (In case you're wondering, that company no longer exists, so bullies now have to focus their attention elsewhere.) Ironically, I thought they were pretty rad, discount store origins aside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn B. didn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery day between classes, he'd point me out and belittle me for my off-brand shoes. I wanted to punch him in his smug, fat face. Considering he was much larger than me, that wouldn't have ended well. So I was left to endure the stomach-churning mockery and shame until a new art project made its way to the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt could have been worse. It's small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. But whoever said \"sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me\" is a dolt with oatmeal for brains. Of course words hurt! And sometimes they have longer-lasting effects, with the emotional scars remaining long after any broken bones have healed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne day in my more recent past, I\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003ewas watching the deer in my backyard and I thought about Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, another victim of bullying. I wondered what he might look like in real life if his nose really did light up and wasn't just some silly illuminated cartoon clown nose. My brain is a weird place, but it's the question that inspired this painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also led to a very powerful experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the piece progressed, it took on a life of its own. The deer's piercing eyes grabbed me and wouldn't let go. They were vulnerable, revealing someone who was sad, hurt, and alone. Someone who maybe wondered why he was made broken. And someone totally unaware that the source of ridicule, the very thing he wished he could be rid of, was actually a gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI thought back to my run-in with John B. I remembered the anxiety I felt each day, hoping to not cross paths with him in the hall, resentful that my parents weren't well-to-do enough to afford Nikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking back now, find it notable that John B.'s criticism was about the brand of shoes, and not the effectiveness of the drawing. The drawing was really good. His taunting certainly didn't cause me to feel pride in my talent, but perhaps he was jealous. After all, a poorly drawn nondescript shoe hardly would have garnered as much attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI get that now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut not then.
