Even some of the things we are told to go toward for restoration and self-care can sometimes be tricky to do in easeful ways. Deep breathing is not comfortable or possible for everyone and can bring up reminders and feelings about a range of physical and psychological challenges and traumas. Drinking water may be impossible for folx living in places where water sources have been contaminated. And sleep is elusive for many at different times in life. What helps you find rest when sleep itself is hard?

 | 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. |
