Taking pride in doing difficult things can itself help us do what is hard and sometimes painful to do. What's something you're proud of about yourself or about how you're dealing with your week?
[image description: A heart walks past another heart at a distance in a colorful landscape. The walking heart waves to the other heart that just stands there looking back. Both hearts are wearing masks over their noses and mouths. The heart of the walking heart has a sad facial expression and is crying. The other heart's heart looks more blank in expression. Text reads: "You can do hard things."]
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. |
