So I have this old camera from like 2004 that my grandparents have me and I know how to work it and everything, I'm good with angling and lighting, whatever, my sibling also has an old camera (probably only from like 2016 though) that again our grandparents gave them, now they're not very good at photography, I am and I know I could prove that easily, my grandparents just need to find the charger for my camera, my dad praises them for amazing quality and pictures on Their camera, says that they get the photography skills from his aunt and grandma when they literally just have the good, working camera, they are seriously not that good at it. I know I am, I get amazing shots on my phone all the time I just don't share it as often, I really like photography, I think it's cool and my fourth grade teacher had a photography club and ever since I've liked it but my parents don't give me the chance to express my interests in anything of the sorts, photography, art, whatever. Anyways, they only see me as the makeup and fashion loving, fandom crazed, writer, boy crazy kid who loves looking pretty and keeping up my appearance, which, sure, I can be like that sometimes, just the other day I was whining about how I looked busted before going out just to the dollar store. But none of that stuff is important, I can't make a good career out of that, my sibling could easily get into art school with one drawing, genuinely, and my little sister draws and makes up stories for her OC's and shows them off, I can't draw like that, and I'm jealous as fuck. Anyways, moral of the story, my parents think I'm good for nothing but looking pretty.
