Smell the roses. Taste the biscuit.

YOU DESERVE IT.

So the drawing I did this week was dark as fuck and honestly, it felt very therapeutic and I’m weirdly enjoying dipping into hard subjects but also I feel like you guys maybe don’t need to see an image of what 3am anxiety looks like for me because you probably get enough of that bullshit at 3am yourself and I’m not sure if it would be comforting to see that you’re not alone, or unsettling because “WHY ARE YOU SENDING ME PICTURES OF MONSTERS, JENNY? ARE THOSE TEETH? I DIDN’T JOIN THIS SUBSTACK TO GET HAUNTED. WHAT IS HAPPENING??” and so instead I thought I’d share with you a drawing a did awhile ago that I don’t think I ever shared here because it didn’t turn out how I wanted it to:

“LIFE IS SHORT. SMELL THE ROSES.”

But I found it again this week and it’s growing on me because I think we all need a reminder right now that it’s okay to grab happiness and appreciate it wherever it exists…however it shows up for you. Even if it shows up in weird drawings of terrible monsters that might make everyone else wonder exactly what is wrong with you but which you find confusingly adorable.

Treat yourself to joy, my friend. Every damn day. Because you deserve it.

Love,

Jenny
