This zine was so comforting to me in a way words cannot express. Seeing others having similar feelings and issues to what I feel day to day with my own mental illness struggles makes it feel less overwhelming and isolating. So happy Lee shared this very intimate and sensitive topic with us. A lovely short read that I refer back to anytime I feel low.
Where to even begin with "Feels"? After reading this zine edition, I found such a great sense of familiarity with the raw emotions that the artist expressed through their sketches. There were far too many moments in this zine where I was like, "oh wow, same lol".
"Feels" is a nice little reminder that not everything is going to be put together and perfect. Things can be messy, weird, and distressing BUT that's okay. It's going to be okay. There will be bad moments in life. But there will be good moments.
I highly recommend buying this zine if you're someone who likes cute drawings with a silly sense of humor as well as wanting something to remind you that whatever you might be feeling...someone else might be feeling that too.
