a little comic about burnout π₯ [2/2]
i started this comic at the beginning of 2022, and it's still relevant now. i never finished it, but i find its sketched state fitting for the subject matter :P
more rambling below? (it's a vent, be warned!)
i've been dealing with some pretty bad burnout and depression for a few months now, so it felt right to post this comic. just another way i've been trying to articulate my feelings.
and what it is...well, being an independent adult in the modern world is really overwhelming. i don't feel cut out for this gig in the long-term, and that's really scary to think about. jobs, taxes, insurance, politics, economy...all these things confuse and exhaust me, but if i'm not engaging with them constantly then i risk putting myself in a bad spot, and that's scarier.
i just feel like an animal stuck inside a human skin, desperately trying to understand this complicated world around me...but i'm not made for it. this isn't where i'm supposed to be.
i know things will get better...i just need a moment to air out my grief.
