81 Thought-Provoking And Honest Illustrations About Our Lives By Stephan Schmitz

Failure is the ladder to success, but one should clean up the mess, or you can slip and break your neck!

The superficiality of social media relationships taking away from what we most need - real connection.

I love this one...and rain. 😊

As a woman who has never known her father- he disappeared while I was still to young to have any memories of him- this one makes my heart wistfully sad.

I'm lucky to have a fantastic father. When my parents divorced my mum wasn't capable of bringing me up on her own, so my parents had two choices: my dad become sole carer or that I go into care. He gave up his job to become a full time father and after 15 years is still here for me. My nieces' dad on the other hand is a complete moron and does nothing for them

My dad is 87 and I'm 51 and I still feel this way with my dad. He's my hero.

It must be so nice to have that.

Wish I could frame this one

Brutally true.

It's hard work sometimes.

One tweet at a time.

We all hide our feelings every day. This resonates with me

It's a gray matter.

We always carry it with us.

Oh yes!. Applies to work relationships too, any bullying situation, even total strangers attacked for no reason.

She's definitely screwing around.

This also reminds me a lot of the issues families have to deal with when faced with a family member having an eating disorder. The ramifications it has on such close relationships and how it can tear them apart so easily.

Good thing that a divorce is no more a taboo in many countries. No one forces you to live in a relationship that you don't like anymore.

WOW !

There was actually a Greek myth about this, though slightly different. A sculpture wanted a woman that was perfect for him, and disliked all the women he knew, so he sculpted his ideal woman, with the wish she would come alive. The goddess of love, Aphrodite, granted his wish.

In Germany we are melting like that these days

Yes. Definitely.

Love the idea! Knowing people in everyday life really is like sailing around tips of icebergs.

Just when it was getting to the good part.

Scaring!

This is wonderful illustration.

I didn't know this was a thing- but now I think I have it. The sound of someone clicking a pen over and over-arghhh!

They say dihydrogen monoxide is the most dangerous. It accelerates corrosion and can cause suffocation. Yet it's such a common ingredient in everything...

men do this to women too

Hiding in plain sight

the children are demons trying to eat his soul

Thanos did it

Well, he'll have good posture at least.

Over COMING fears.

A little lower on the back, please!

Not my circus, not my monkeys. - Polish saying

SO spot on! Always look at who funds a study.

Ooo this one's cool. There is a certain charm in decaying places though. They are sad, yes, but it's always like they hold some sort of mystery and even if you know most everything about them you just can't help wondering - who lived there, what did they do, like, hate? What memories do these crumbling walls keep? With a non-abandoned place, even if it's old but renovated and all, you just don't get that vibe somehow.

Oh yeah! And that is likely to be something the rest of us take for granted, like the toilet is in there, Or school, etc.

The cloud...

We really should have been created with some kind of zipper arrangement.

He can sod off for the fun stuff then!

The only ones who say this are those with the means to feel comfortable, their minimalism is someone else's wealth.

I am not a huge fan of the 'big pharma' conspiracy theories.

En garde!

Oh yeah!! But those walls have thorns, and people attack poor people with words " drain on the tax payers purse" from my prime minister. ( Australia ) As if anybody decided to get injured at work, and live with permanent pain. etc etc

Oh yes! Votes this one up a hundred times ! Yes, trapped, helpless.

Time moves both fast and slow, can be both friend and foe.

people have been "outsourcing" chores since the beginning of time. it's just in the last few hundred years that we pay for it instead of forcing it on someone else.

Only to be murdered by jobless-trolls. Been there.

Kinda cute but sad reality at the same time.

that's one looooooooooooooooooong child

Couldn't have done better
