when your broken glasses cannot hold on to your nose bridge anymore but you're fighting deadlines and now you're just typing on your phone instead of working on your computer because you can't see shit anymore

Many of my mini zines are perzines, my experiences with mental health, conflict as an artist, exploration of identities, my health situation, processing deep emotions, and expressing my rage in the most colorful ways.

I turned 30 about a month ago, organized my own solo exhibition in the middle of Pasar Besar Ipoh, and most importantly, my ultimate goal this year is to make 30 mini zines to symbolize what turning 30 feels like to me.

Iโ€™ll always be riding the high of the Sun, thinking of the time when I am a functional member of society when I am manic. But those are when I am exploited and wanted for my productivity, not because I am loved for who I am when I am depressed.

But depressive episodes? Being an unhappy person? The Rocky Mountains have been there since the beginning. Who knew when they were born they want to be depressed?

Manic episodes are like colorful rivers and baleful rays of the sun, they are here, but itโ€™s not a constant. Theyโ€™ll come to visit and leave as they please.

Why does happiness feel so distant? How do some people have it easier in life compared to me? Sometimes with mental illness, it is more of a torture than a gift - it was never a superpower.

A distant sun, baleful rays scattered behind tall, rocky mountains. A colorful, patterned river flows, absurdly connecting the mountain.

Two panels of a comic. On the left two children read from a book while they huddle under a blanket.
From them grow vines and spill onto the next page. At the bottom a family plants seeds which grow into a person holding a big pot, a parent lifting their baby up, and two figures hugging. Above them are three black block figures throwing and lighting cocktails. At the top a women holds a spherical splodey with two black flags. 

Text rises from above the children and reads.

Perhaps we have no future. That may be true. 

On a long enough timeframe, we'll all be dead and the earth will be eaten by the sun - that much seems certain. Climate change may kill us off along with all the other species that are being destroyed. Yet that doesn't make it any less beautiful to take action in the present. It doesn't make anything less meaningful to. 

The present is real, no matter what may happen in the future. 

If we don't act in pursuit of the things that we consider meaningful in the present, that compounds the tragedy that is underway, it makes it a travesty. If we don't defend what we love, that suggests that we are not loosing anything anyway. If we impose that tragedy on ourselves renouncing our ability to dream, it is as if we deserve it. 

But, if we act in a way that shows that the world could be different, that will give the tragedy that we're experiencing weight. Then there will have been something beautiful in the world when it comes to an end, if only our desire for something else. The fact of its having been will hang, something that cannot be erased from history. Even if our dreams cannot come true, we can honor them thus.
