I love growing older. I hope the fear doesn’t strike me too bad when I’m at that mid-life point… but right now I am so much more into living and bettering my life than I ever was.

Comic of artist Dialog: I am someone who feels alone in a crowded room. New things, people, and places are hard for me.

Comic of artist. Dialog: In these situations, I think of how exposing myself can be compared to the layers of a jaw-breaker. Will the layers reveal something sweet or sour?

Comic of artist. Dialog: This low self-esteem? Social anxiety? My nerves put my brain on overdrive.

Comic of artist. Dialog: I wonder things like: what even lies at the center of who I am? I just hope whatever it is, it is enough.

No one asked how I am feeling, but I have decided to share anyway. #biocomic

Working on an angsty diary comic when I decided to change my wallpaper from a John Green quote to a kpop idol, and if that is not “depression hit you hard at a young age, huh” idk what is.

My water bottle is Mark. My travel mug (will be) Andy. It’s like, iykyk but no one really knows.

One day I am sure I will regret this. Until that day comes, I feel nothing but joy.

Currently fitting my hyperfixation stealthily into my life is becoming dangerous. Paid real human dollars for a name sticker for my travel mug on Etsy that requires several layers of lore to reveal Why.

You know I got something wrong with me when I start crying because I am going to miss working my dumpster fire bookselling job.

…but can you blame me??? For being a monster at a kband/rock concert??

((You can, I just hope I didn’t block your view and it ruin your experience… like my friend has photo evidence and I am so sorry…))

To the people who will never know who I am—I am sorry I am a monster who gets INTO the music at concerts. I have been notified and will keep my hands and arms below my head next time….

Gonna be giving out freebies at the #xdinaryheroes DC show! #zine 1/2

It is a never ending pit of despair. Just know that despite the goblin in your brain who only says mean things, you’re not less than for not being where you want to be right now.

Going to have to relearn how to draw myself for these things 🤪 #autobiocomic #biocomic

“If you assume you won’t get the job, then the rejection will sting less” 🤡

The thing about following your dreams is that even if you get there they usually do not pay you very well

Somethingsomething shitty remark about how us who tend to try to deal with shit ourselves and move on (and take pride in it) have the most to learn.

I think I’ve bitten down and grit my teeth enough to acknowledge sometimes it is actually your fault, and you have to be ok with that.

In the 90s, I genuinely thought the Internet would cure loneliness. But it turns out that for me anyway the Internet addresses loneliness the way alcohol addresses anxiety.

I am (1) project and (1) discussion post away from completing my MLIS program 🤡😭✨

A couple weeks ago I told Sarah that I had a post go viral on tumblr, and she said, "Did all twelve people on tumblr like it?"

Opening my sketchbook for the first time in over a month? Anyways, an oldie #biocomic about me finding happiness in #kpop hell.

My heart is breaking in a million pieces everyday. But when I feel like I might need to ugly cry for bad reasons, I have a person in my life just be there with me and now I want to ugly cry for happy reasons too.

Burger warmup

Lil orc yelling “but it’s okay to be scared. Being brave is being scared but still trying.”

My timeline seems anxious today.

Who knows where all this goes? I’m stuck in the flow of time like the rest of you and I won’t try to be a prophet. Find your people. Stand together.

Don’t ask me how much I just paid for tickets, but I am psyched that I am going to see Xdinary Heroes ✨🤘.
