Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

sighs and shares the comic again katesheridanart.com/comics#/ghos...

Cover to sci fi minicomic GHOSTBOT: Maryam, a Middle Eastern woman in her 40s with graying black hair looks at the viewer with concern while her pink eyed doppelganger, a robot, smiles emptily at her. Pixels and pieces of computer interface float around them.

A comic page from GHOSTBOT.
Panel 1: establishing shot of a futuristic cityscape.
Callie, a child: Why's she coming with us?
Hester, one of her mothers: Mom needs to teach her, Callie. And she can help me look after you both.

Panel 2: Callie, looking back at her other mother, Maryam, and her pink-eyed doppelganger: Okay...

Panels 3-5: The doppelganger notices Callie's gaze and smiles and waves at her. Callie hesitantly waves back while Maryam looks on with an unreadable expression.

Sigh.

"The one thing I need to do today" represented by a single Tetris block that needs to drop into a very obvious gap at 9am; at 5pm it's evident that single block has been very badly dropped into the wrong spot.

“Enjoying something” - Meg holds something and enjoys it with a smile. “Enjoying something made by your friend” - 3 Megs appear, all screaming AHHHHHHHH and excited/pointing to something (made by a friend).

A little comic about trauma responses. Which one are you?

The four trauma responses:
Fight “I face threats head on and with aggression”
Flight “I remove myself from the situation”
Freeze “I feel an inability to move or response”
Fawn “I try to please to avoid conflict. I’ll agree with you even when I actually disagree. I crave acceptance and struggle with codependency. I lack boundaries and have a hard time saying no. I take full responsibility for things not my fault. I don’t advocate for my needs.”

For all those who feel behind their peers, you’re not alone!

Meg says “my 20s were full of alcoholism, debt, pain, depression and bipolar that was undiagnosed for years. I feel so far behind my peers.” Carson shrugs “comparison is the thief of joy, take pride in the challenges you faced and grew from.”
