“If I were as privileged as [you], I’d probably have more luck with getting my work out there,” Kiera said.
To this, she was utterly taken aback and asked Kiera what that meant. Then, Kiera went on to say she had better supplies, was able to take art classes, and had gotten into two art shows.
She responded by telling Kiera that none of that was a “privilege” because she could have done the same and has been doing the same. For example, she referenced how she gifted Kiera a ton of her expensive paintbrushes and paints when Kiera first got started.
But then, Kiera moved on to her art classes in high school and used that as an excuse for her success– which really ticked her off.
So, she ended up shutting Kiera down.
“You could have gone to the specialized high school too– all you had to do was apply. But, you wanted to stay at the base high school with friends,” she began.
“I work two jobs so I can pay for art classes and my supplies. You stick to YouTube videos and paint a couple of times a week. You are trying to compete against people who live and breathe art. Privilege has nothing to do with you not getting selected.”
But, even though she believed everything she said was true, Kiera and a few of her other friends totally disagreed.
They even left the hangout, and afterward, they began claiming that she needed to apologize to Kiera for being inconsiderate of her feelings.
Still, some of her other friends have totally backed her up.
They believe that even though Kiera did not want to hear the truth, she needed to eventually.
