Some thoughts and emotions are difficult enough to deal with, let alone put into words. Italian illustrator Chiara Cosentino, also known online as SonoStataChiara, gives them shape through bold colors, intentionally imperfect lines, and a distinctly dark sense of humor.
Her illustrations explore everything from anxiety, loneliness, and anger to desire, relationships, overthinking, and the frustrating task of trying to understand your own mind. Tangled thoughts, questionable decisions, emotional contradictions, and uncomfortable realizations all become material for Chiara, who approaches these subjects with a mix of honesty, irony, and absurdity. Despite the surreal characters and sarcastic phrases, her work captures moments when emotions seem impossible to untangle, while also raising issues women face in modern society. Chiara’s illustrations have appeared on Bored Panda several times before, and if you enjoyed our previous collection of her dark and often provocative takes on social and personal struggles, there’s plenty more of her distinctive humor to discover below.

I came to a realization a while back that anger and hate gets me nowhere, and it's a waste of my energy. I used to get so enraged at how my family treated me (ábuse in childhood/young adulthood, then infantilizing/condescending in later adulthood) and would fight with them endlessly trying to get them to treat me like an adult. It was pointless; they're textbook narcissists. I realized, finally, I was wasting so much of my life and my energy getting angry and hating them. It wasn't worth the stress it put me through. So I let go of my anger. They still frustrate me, but I no longer poison my mind and body with my own anger.

Personally, I would say "Not all men, but *nearly* always a man" because yes, there *are* always a couple of rare outlier cases where a woman attacks a man or another woman (and acknowledging that takes away a key argument they make against calling out the commonplaceness of bad behavior by men).

Completely incorrect translation. It should be more like "I don't understand why you try to make me feel wrong just because I'm different than you. I'm not changing anyway."

Again, mis-translated. It's "I should think less and do more (like sleeping)"

Another shoddy translation that results in a nonsensical image. It should be closer to "I don't ask when this agony will end, but rather, when it all started."

Proper translation: "How can I understand you when I don't even understand myself?"
