It’s been some kind of year and bear with me while I take this opportunity to brag. The highs were exceedingly high and I learnt so much! From being a juror for Doug Wright Awards to tabling Canzine, Zineland and PRFMTO. I had good fortune of meeting the wonderful folks from @tzlcollective this year. I had some personal wins as well. My corporate illustrations are now in published magazines and I have made some long strides with my anxiety. For all the heartbreak of this year, I have still managed to do things I couldn’t have fathomed even a year ago — sitting through day-long council meetings, finding myself in nature and feeling an immense bond with the island. All this for a person who couldn’t leave her house for longer than 30 minutes at a time, not even 2 years ago. Apologies if this sounds smug and self-congratulatory, but it’s a Coles Notes version of mental illness and recovery. I hope that people reading take heart and find a way to list their own wins. Even the little ones. And if this year has been fatiguing for you, at least we are in the home stretch and I wish for good times ahead. 🌸 🌸🌸🌸 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #top9of2018 #top9 #2018feels https://www.instagram.com/p/BrVNDdGHWvq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f5tu8hejdhza

🎵 Can you feel this energy? This is the start of something great. We might be a little late, Hey, but at least we're on our way. You got too much time to waste, Focusing on what people say. They might not like that we were right, But we're here to stay. Leave your sorrow on the table. Pick up your worries and throw them out the window. You don't gotta let your friends know. There's so much trouble to get into. #letsgo , let go 🎵 #khalid #americanteen #2018feels (at New York, New York)
