Hello,
Welcome to Perhaps Maybe.
"Perhaps Maybe" is a common phrase that is often used to indicate uncertainty or indecision about something. It can be interpreted in various ways depending on the context in which it is used.
For me, it stemmed from the question of... ‘what if, with all these failures & problems, this takes a positive turn? Perhaps? Maybe? Probably?‘ So here we are.

Upsetting Others
I’m an artist from the Philippines who is making a fresh beginning by starting over again. We all know that we need to find ways to survive. Personally, there have been different tries and attempts to make a living aside from being an artist, but to no avail. The struggle is real. So maybe giving art - or drawing - another shot might result in something different.
Next Wave
Walking away from a standard doctors appointment like... ((((( standard blood test showing things you weren't even testing for but they just so happened to be part of the test 😈
I've been prepared for something like this to happen ever since 2020.
I’ve definitely had weeks like this and I’m grateful for a restful one coming!
To-Do List
Forget jobs, I need a robot to go to school in my place so I can get more than 5 hours of sleep

Yes, it's an accumulation of a lot of circumstances - in life. But I also wanted to show that anyone can start doing art, even if it is just lines and circles. I came from a more elaborate style of drawing, and now found an approach that is sustainable in the long run.
Survival Mode

In my friend group, I'm the goofy smol one. In reality, I'm falling apart more everyday lol.
You’ll notice that I, for one, am not sure if I aim to be funny with my comic strips. But I know I’m doing what I want and how I want it by tackling different issues - even mental health, which we need to talk more about to spread awareness. You’ll probably see more content revolving around that in the future.
In terms of genre, I’m mostly influenced by cartoon TV shows I saw growing up. I first tried doing manga style (I think everyone did) but as said, I find it difficult to be sustainable. So by taking up the influences that made me, the result is what you see in the existing images.
Approach Carefully
Correct, all you would hear is the door lock and someone scurrying away

Good ol' anticipatory anxiety -- the catalyst to the spin cycle of my longtime buddy, panic attack
Load More Replies...Actually,some Native American people do "stand off"and wait to be acknowledged before they approach...a sign of respect?
Hahahaha! That's totally my partner! I'm an ambivert, but she's introverted, so she will close the door on anyone who didn't organize to visit her at least 24 hours ago. My whole life, I was pressured to always be polite, no matter what I was feeling, so I admire her ability to close the door on anyone who didn't warn her that they were coming.
Bring back calling cards!! (The proper victorian ones, not the ones that let you call collect prepaid lol)
Dinosaurs
You’ll notice a similar theme all throughout this collection of words - hope.
By starting over again, it means there is trying to reach or to grasp onto “hope”. By doing something I love that I stepped away from for a while, it shows that there is an effort to see or look for a light at the end of the tunnel. I’m now into art with a different mindset, along with all the lessons in life. Maybe things will work out in the future this time. Perhaps? Maybe.
Tools:
iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, then Procreate for drawings.

That's what they call "wearing many hats at once".

You had to activate it?! Lucky!! I’m always introverted. 🤣🤣

Relatable. I'm always having to force myself to talk to people. Like, I want to talk to my loved ones, but it takes too much energy to reply. I swear I'm not a bad person, it's just they're all full on extroverts and as an ambivert who's more introverted, they drain me really quickly.
Only Memes
It's some sort of app where you post stuff, like feet, eyes, other common things and get paid for it by a bunch of psycho weirdos 🤷♀️😵💫
Load More Replies...Small feet. Flat chest, no curves and finally, hair on a bun. Yep, none would pay for that
Starting Over
Clap For Yourself
Same, to both (the artist who made the comic and you) of you!

.......I either feel overwhelmed or numb. And then the masking takes over the social life.
Only problem is that the shield also deflects positive emotions from getting in too
That's how my pain pill addiction took hold. I realized they help every type of pain, even emotional and mental.
If you're feeling depressed, relax and enjoy the little things. Feeling depressed is a heck of a lot better than feeling nothing.
Tough and practically impossible with severe clinical depression

If you have a friend with a toxic partner, ask them: "If a friend of yours had a partner that (list all the negative traits in order of least obvious to most obvious), what would you say to them?" And it'll make them think. If they go: " Well, obviously I'd tell them that the relationship isn't worth the little bit of happiness they receive." Then you can swoop in with "Honey, I just described your partner. Let that sink in."
Accumulated Skills
Yup, like mastering the art of people thinking you're actually busy when you don't answer the phone or text them back..
This is my biggest downfall. People tell me that I'm a sweet lady, but I am TERRIBLE at replying to people. It just drains me talking to my extroverted family...

Uninvited
"Oh it's fine, they're cool!" Me: *Spends the next couple of hours outside the circle of people*
Fitness Videos
I look forward to them to go and rehydrate and towel down, my Zumba videos don't have breaks in them to tell you to grab a drink lol
Comic Making
Art
Reminds me of the time a customer told my manager (who was doing her a favor off the clock) that she could "do that in half the time." Manager looked her dead in the eyes, took a step back and went "then have fun with it. Im going home." And walked right out the door. Never seen someone backtrack so quickly but it was too late. She tried to ask for my help after and I told her "sorry, Im not trained for that" and turned heal myself. Lol
I hate when people do that, especially when they say, "you're charging $___?? But it's something so simple my child could do it!" ...well go have your child do it then.
