🍀
sometimes...
...all you need is a reassurance.
reassurance that things WILL get better. that you WILL be able to move on. that it WILL stop hurting. that this too SHALL pass.
this is the reassurance that you've been waiting for. the difficult times you're facing right now are temporary.
better things are coming. they're on the way. look forward to them. hang in there ✨

1. "I can get through this."
Emotional resilience is associated with mental toughness. There is an understanding that we have to be strong and overcome adversity without letting it break us.
2. "Even though I was a victim in this situation, I won't let it define me or ruin my future."
Being resilient means that when you experience the pain of mistreatment, you shift your perspective from "I'm a victim and powerless to help myself" to "How can I grow from this?"
3. “I won't always be happy with how things play out. But it's part of the journey."
Resilience is associated with a basic acceptance that life isn't always fair, and that we all experience emotional hardships. Accepting this truth helps people to not take things as personally when undesirable events happen.
4. "This, too, shall pass."
Resilient people believe that setbacks and challenges can feel horrible in the moment, but that nothing in life is permanent. It doesn't mean that the pain will go away entirely, but it does mean that we can work to make them less traumatic and damaging to us over time.
5. "What can I learn from this?"
Openness to experiences and the ability to shift your perspective from "Why did this happen to me?" to "What can I take from this to help me grow?" can help you better navigate through life's inevitable ups and downs.
6. “I'm feeling a strong emotion, so I'm going to take a moment and pause before I respond or make any big decisions."
A key component of resilience is emotional flexibility, or the ability to regulate your feelings and reduce their intensity in a given situation. Mastery over this can help us feel empowered during challenging times.
7. "I still have things to be grateful for."
We're hardwired to notice threats to our well-being. But people who are resilient find a way to turn towards the positive, even in times of difficulty.
8. "I have to see reality for what it is, even if it's not what I want, so I can move forward."
The key to resilience is not denying reality or seeking out a reason that makes us feel better about why something happened. When we arrive at a place of radical acceptance, the situation has less power over us.
9. "I'm letting this go."
Staying mired in resentment, wanting retribution, or focusing on payback keeps us holding on to past pain. Developing resilience requires getting to a place where we can see difficult life circumstances for what they are and actively choosing to let them go.

a break...
...does not mean a habit is broken.
it means that the habit is a healthy one with time and space to step away for a bit.
after all, how will you be able to see the bigger picture if you're always too close?
take that step back. it doesn't take away your progress from you ✨

Guilt & Chronic Illness
Something I’ve noticed as I navigate living with chronic illness and connecting with others who are on the same path, nobody really speaks about the guilt that comes with chronic illness. I know in my own life I certainly have felt guilty for being sick and not being able to do the things I used to be able to do with and for myself and my family. My chronic illness is debilitating, which means…

I had a busy weekend promoting the Favor Kickstarter at a local convention, but when things slowed down a bit on the third day I ended up doodling a little Yunni and Rez!
I've really missed drawing these guys. Most of my artistic energy has gone into Favor lately. While I've enjoyed the challenge, it feels almost cozy to step back into drawing characters that I know so well
