Draw your feelings journey – week 23 – surprised
Heel bijzonder hoezeer ‘verrast’ en ‘geschokt’ op elkaar lijken. Tenminste, voor mij. Allebei kunnen een ‘negatieve’ of ‘positieve’ smaak krijgen, afhankelijk van je gedachten, van hoe je de situatie interpreteert en welke betekenis je eraan geeft. Ik voelde alleen een subtiel verschil in intensiteit: ‘geschokt’ is absoluut sterker dan ‘verrast’.

Strange how much ‘surprised’ and ‘shocked’ resemble each other. At least to me. Both can take on a ‘negative’ or ‘positive’ flavour depending on one’s thoughts, on how the situation is interpreted and what meaning is attached to it. I just felt a subtle difference in intensity: ‘shocked’ is definitely stronger than ‘surprised’.
Thank you Shereen for inspiring me to join your project!
My drawings of surprised
English translation:
- Surprise can be a creative spiral
- Unpleasantly surprised can resemble panic
- Sometimes surprises come from within. When I can see something special in the ordinary.
- I imagined a path for myself but embracing a surprise opened up a new path.
See previous week – shocked
