The month of May is dedicated to mental health Awareness since 1949. I imagine the day when taking care of our mental health is a part of our life just like brushing our teeth, so that we do not need a month to remind us of self-help.

And before that day comes, self-care is still a luxury for many. Like the mother who believes her family's needs come first, the breadwinner struggling to make ends meet, the kid trying to meet the parents' expectation and the teenager trying to fit in. Unfortunately, any of us can be struggling with mental problems.

Self-care and self-love shouldn't be something we constantly feel guilty about. I first created the cute comics of the little fox and furry friends on Instagram to remind and encourage myself. Little did I expect that more and more people found these cartoon drawings uplifting and resonating.

I hope these animal comics do the same magic to you as they do for me.

Everyone's beautiful and there's no skin colour, eye colour, hair colour, body weight or facial features that are more beautiful than others

When my father was serving in WWII he would always eat his whole chocolate ration as soon as he got it, because you never knew if the next mission was the one you didn't come back from.

Everyone I'm so sorry if I offended anyone? I just don't understand why my comment was downvoted so much, I'm really not being sarcastic or anything. I love these comics and they have such important messages, everyone should see these. But I'd be thankful if someone could please explain what I did wrong?

Is it just me: whenever I say something negatively about myself and someone says it's not true it never helps, because it feels as if they are lying, it helps a little if they say they think it's false because I want to know what other people think, but I don't want it to feel like they said it just because they're my friend and feel they have to. It really helps when someone doesn't tell me it's false, but adds positive things to it, like in this image.
