Sometimes it's really difficult to know where to begin cleaning up messes in our relationships. Sometimes we need to make messes in our hearts and souls in order to grow. And sometimes we just have to start where we are, making messes, cleaning them up, and one-foot-in-front-of-the-other blooming our tender-hearted love anew. What helps you be with the messiness of love?
[image description: Two hearts that are both wearing face masks covering their mouths and noses look down at the ground around them, which is covered in a giant mess. The mess contains objects labeled: "repair," "rupture," "mistakes," "obligation," "baggage," "expectations," "trauma," "disconnection," "ego," "attachment," and "risk." The heart on the left scratches its head and sheds a tear. The heart on the right slouches far forward. Text reads: "Love is messy. 22 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. |
