For a wide range of reasons, our sense of belonging, with ourselves, with each other, and even on the planet, can be difficult to believe in and rely on. How do you and your friends support each other with having and growing a strong and reliable sense of belonging?
[image description: Two hearts stand facing each other. The heart on the left is smiling and with one hand pointing downward and with the other head pointing to the other heart where the words "yes you" appear by its pointer finger.

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. |
