CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: comfort zine!
there’s a huge community on Tumblr focusing on improving personal mental health & general well-being, taking pictures of stuff that makes you feel happy inside, making art about your own feelings and playlists that help you cheer up, and sharing life advice with unknown people.
i could go on and on for ages: there’s a huge collective need for better relationships, healthier living and rejection of numbness, and i feel like some people here on the Internet are trying to fill that void be it with poetry and writing that inspires them, pictures of flowers, clothes they love wearing and food they enjoy eating, edits of tv shows and movies that make them feel less alone in this world or just selfies they upload in order to feel more loved and take pride in their own bravery for attempting to love themselves in such a cruel environment.
that’s the reason behind the Comfort Zine: putting together all those kinds of things that help us comfort ourselves when a more or less rough day comes to an end. praising happy, meanwhile understanding and accepting that in order to feel happy, we ought to feel sad, angry or scared many times too. so in this zine no content focusing on so called “negative” emotions or feelings will be banned; it’ll just be understood as one more step towards taking back our lives and hearts. hope and positivity are key, but there’s no way we can stay hopeful and positive without making some room for our “uglier” moments.
so that’s it! if you’re interested in having your playlists, original music, original artwork, fanart, writing of any kind, edits, pictures, or advice text posts be part of Comfort Zine, please mail me at [email protected] or message me via Tumblr in order to talk about contents, deadlines and more information!Â
