EMM'S POSITIVITY BLOG.

I’ve started previewing my new stuff around last October, so if you’ve been enjoying the things I’ve posted since then (the elephant and mouse comics, the personal positive drawings featuring a mouse version of myself, and my series of reasons to make things), you should follow me on my other social media pages so you can keep up with those. If you want to contact me, my email is [email protected] and you can find me on: - instagram - facebook - twitter.  Thank you for everything and may this year be everything you want it to be.

[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.”]
