Let it be messy.

Let it be slow.

Let it be yours.

Exactly the words that took me years to accept. I am still sometimes fighting it...

Thank you for publishing this wonderful bundle of care! 😍

This might be nonsensical, but I LOVE YOU! And your kindness! You are sharing such a powerful and impactful message that really comforts us fellow creatives to hear. Burn-out is real. The feeling of hopelessness lingers sometimes. But then I remember, it's our journey as artists to discover ourselves and interact with the world in a way that nurtures others and evolves ourselves. I'm very excited to dive into this zine. I'm printing it out now (I assume that's the way it was intended?) The way you write is so positive and charismatic, truly. EXCITING SUGGESTION: You should try printing it through Mixam and selling it! (Even if this wasn't created to earn money.) The people who have been truly moved by your message would buy it to support you, including me. You can buy 5 copies of a zine you created that's A5 size for just 10$. I think you can even buy just 1 copy if you just want a physical copy for yourself. It's super affordable. I just made ordered some myself of my own work and they came out beautifully.
