Hey everyone! My name is Yasemin and I am a freelance graphic designer & illustrator based in Istanbul, Turkey. On the first day of the lockdown due to the corona outbreak, I knew I had two options. Either I was going to do a Netflix marathon for who knows how long, or I was gonna try to make lemonade from this situation with the sourest of lemons.

Quit being a spoiled rotten brat , wear a mask, just because Mama said so," Trust the elders that show you proff." Don't believe every person, look up the facts, make an informed decision, read the bible yourself and recognize it when a person of athority is telling lies.
Given that, I decided to draw some comics about my feelings towards quarantine. After making one or two, I started to realize that many of my struggles are very common with almost everyone in the world right now! That feeling gave me great strength to move on, since I wanted people to have a laugh while going through endless bad news scrolling through social media.

Considering all that, I named my series "Struggles." I generally come up with ideas by observing my surroundings and checking in with my emotions. One day, this pandemic will end, but some of our mutual daily struggles will carry on. My goal with this series is to take a moment, find something funny about it, and have a little laugh about it. Hope you like the series—cheers!

I thought I was the only one that had a similar experience. In my case, I'm getting dressed, and start putting on my socks. Oh wait, I need to add something to the grocery list. (my sock is half on.) Item added to list. (Sock goes on.) Do I have enough cash in my purse? I check . (second sock is waiting.) Oh, I better untie my shoes so I can put them on. They're ready. (sock goes on.) (now for the shoes.) Wait put your jeans on first! ... and so it goes. By the way, I used to get dressed at a normal pace, before COVID 19. Now, my mind wanders.

So many incidents are occurring all around the world, yet all the major news are covering US politics (I'm not American) and COVID-19. I'm trying my best to learn about other countries as well as my own, but some days, it gets really overwhelming — but not as exhausting as for those who are experiencing these in spite of the pandemic. Best wishes and much love for all.

Catastropic illness. People who have lived with this everyday since birth and never wanted anyone else to have to deal with the chains, rules and regulations. While you have their sympathy they want you to recognise there is hope of finding an answer to Covid.
