Journal comic, because I was thinking about this stuff in the shower today. #watchmebeokay #journalcomic

12/12/24 It's hard for me to be a good person. Isn't that an awful thing to say? But that feels true to me. Lately it feels like every act of kindness has been a forced and phony effort. This morning I challenged myself to try to be only a positive experience for anyone I interacted with today. I put on a star of david necklace for the first time. Maybe it's just a silly placebo, but it felt easier for me to hhold back my worse qualities when I felt like I'm representing something bigger than myself. I was a considerate driver and held my tongue on the internet. I gave my epts extra attention. I gave my coworkers more patience. I donated plasma after work and had dinner with my grandma just to check in and say hi. I did what I could to make my husbands day easier on him when we got home. And sometimes it still felt phony or forced. The outcome was the same either way. I brightened other people's day. It managed to be one of the least stressful days I've had in months.

Another journal comic. I've been trying to find ways to work on my anger and stress. There's so many things I can't control throughout my day, but I can remind myself that one thing I can control is myself. That's so cheesy and lame but it's been helping. #comics #watchmebeokay #webcomics #journal

I'm not good at this. I can either get better or stop. ... I wish i didn't feel shame in quitting. I really thought I'd come to a realization by the end of drawing this.

About not being good at things. #comics #webcomics #artists #watchmebeokay

In 2013 I had a mild cold and had these thoughts while bedridden in my dorm. #webcomics #journal #watchmebeokay #comics

Some 2018 hourly comics #webcomics #hourlies #comics #watchmebeokay

"I'll be okay." "Hhh god... I'm a mess"

October, 2017. I remember drawing this when I was maybe at the lowest point in my depression. So glad I'm not in that space anymore. #journal #comics #watchmebeokay #webcomics #depression

Panel 1: "aaaa im late for work!" Panel 2 "wait. No I'm not." Panel 3: ice been working here 8 am to 5 for almost 1 year. But I'm still used to the schedule of my last job. Panel 4: "egghhh fiiiine" panel 6 "god dammit ugh God shit damn hell this sucks." "Ugh ...hhh "

And then um. And then I... Oh God Im so tired.

My attempt at Hourly Comics for 2017

Melodramatic reflections on an unsatisfying haircut. But it'll grow back.

A self-portrait of me from my mid-20s, scratching my back with a greasy bag of McDonalds in hand as I look up in vague discontent. the text reads "Watch Me Be Okay" An autobiographical series about a truly mediocre homosexual

11/9/16 "I don't want to talk about it" Panel 2: scribbled drawing of me lying alone in the dark, light coming in through the drawn windowblind. panel 3: I'm looking at my reflection. Panel 4: I tie a necktie. Panel 5: Blank.

11/10/16: Panel 1: "I had my day to feel sorry for myself" above 3 donuts. Panel 2: "But today I am now 24!" Panel 3: "& There's work to do!!" I clench my fist looking determined yet unshaved panel 4: "Can't sleep away my days forever" as I finally do the laundry.

Reuploading some autobiographical comics I journaled the last time that guy got elected, which just keeps happening near my birthday.
