[4-panel comic.  Panel 1: A mouse asks “What if I’m too old to make new friends?” to an elephant who replies “You can make friends at any age.” Panel 2: The mouse says “What if I’m too boring to make new friends?” The elephant says “You’re not boring.” Panel 3: The mouse says “What if I’m not likable enough to make new friends?” The elephant says “Plenty of people will like you.”  Panel 4: The elephant says “It’s okay to be scared and have doubts, but you can do this. It will be fine.”]

[3-panel comic. Panel 1: I don’t want to face my feelings. I don’t want to deal with things. *drawing of a mouse in bed* Panel 2: But if I don’t, things won’t get better. *drawing of a mouse wrapped in a blanket and holding a coffee mug* Panel 3: So I’m doing what I need now to have better later, and I don’t love it, but I can do it. I’m strong enough, and it will be fine. *drawing of a mug, a book, paper, a pen, and a laptop on a table.*]

Reminder: I added a new reward tier to my patreon. It’s a series of drawings centered on the phrases “It will be okay.” and “I’m going to be okay.”

[Drawing of a seal making a snowman with a caption that says “Reason to make things (if you want) #12: Because if someone you loved wanted to make things, you would support them, and you deserve to treat yourself like someone you love.”]

[Drawing of flowers with a caption that says “It’s unfair to be told you’re using your illness as an excuse not to try when you try so hard all the time. I see you. I know how hard you work and how much you’ve survived. You have every reason to be proud of yourself.”]

[4-panel comic. A mouse and an elephant are talking. Panel 1: The mouse says “Sometimes I think it might be nice to make new friends.” Panel 2: The mouse says “But I just don’t have the energy to be fun and interesting. I’m so tired.” Panel 3: The elephant says “First, you are fun and interesting.” Panel 4: The elephant says “Second, people will understand that you’re tired. It will be fine.”]

reminder: I have another illustration project on patreon.

[4-panel comic.  Panel 1: A mouse says “I really appreciate your support.” to an elephant. Panel 2: The mouse says “But when you tell me I’m doing great, and I still think I’m doing a bad job, I feel like I’m letting you down.” Panel 3: The elephant says “You’re not letting anyone down.” Panel 4: The elephant says “Sometimes it’s hard to believe in yourself even when others believe in you.”]
