After graduating from art school in 2016 I started documenting the daily struggles of adulting in my early(ish) 20's in little hand drawn comics.

What started out as a joke among friends and was only meant to be a little side project to my work as an illustrator has now become my way of figuring out life and what it means to be a woman in today's society.

Sometimes I am a little worried about oversharing but then again I hope by being (sometimes maybe a little too) honest I can inspire people to open up about their own problems in real life so we can slowly grow into a society where nobody needs to feel alone with their struggles however big or small.

    i know how women complain about bad approaches, but they do nothing, that such things happen, so don´t pretend you´re something better by doing nothing and waiting your whole life for the men to apporach in a perfect way, at least we have the balls to do something

    Wait...I was under the impression that was life. Are you telling me there are people who are ok with being awake/conscious? Lies.

    my great aunt passed away recently and one of the things she left with us was her lotion that she always wore. Then my little brother got into it and smeared it everywhere and i feel like that my great Aunt is still there haunting me

    Isn't the correct answer sex? Because the question is "Would you rather live WITHOUT sex or food?". So sex is the answer. I would rather live without sex. I can't live without food...
