Sometimes when we aren't happy we try to be happy. We may need to keep trying in order to get better at locating and growing our joy. But inner work and personal development can be exhausting. Sometimes we need others to understand how hard we are trying, and how hard our circumstances are for us personally. What helps you feel validated for your efforts at finding your own joy?
[image description: A heart with a somewhat performative and nervous smile points with both hands at its own face. The heart is standing next to a cabinet with a laptop open on top of it. On the screen of the laptop, another heart says, "You're not doing happy wrong. THIS IS STILL HARD." Text reads: "25 JUNE 2020"]
 | Throughout the pandemic, I have posted messages on my Facebook wall that I needed to hear myself or that I imagined others may be needing to hear. Again and again, these messages spurred collective online processing of a range of challenges and lows and bright spots of living through the pandemic. This series of cartoons is intended to reflect on and illustrate some of the process of dealing with life by leaning into the intersection of technology and community. |
