Fear and worry are not necessarily weaknesses, bad, or even undesirable. Feeling distress can be informative, healing, pleasurable, part of growth, unavoidable, exciting, inspiring, a measure of safety, loving, and more. What helps you allow yourself to feel fear? What helps you allow the fear of others to be present?
[image description: A heart with a downward gaze and worried facial expression sits on the ground and hugs its knees up to its chest. Text reads: "Fear is also a feeling." Another heart kneels in front of the worried heart, places one hand on one of the worried heart's knees, and says, "It's ok to be scared sometimes." Text also reads: "3 DECEMBER 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. |
