;_; thank you very much! i appreciate tht comment a lot and im glad it can make you feel less alone. the 0% late submission is something that haunted me so much in school because i was truly pretty good at the work that i did, but i missed so many assignments due to depression and, as well because of trauma and illness from medication as well.
the adults who make fun of you as a kid are so frustrating but it did make me deeply appreciate the teachers i had that cut me slack and would recognize that i was struggling. growing up is really fucking hard. i dont think people acknowledge that enough.
thank you for reading and for interacting with it! i have another zine ive been working on passively and i dont know if it will resonate with anyone but i think it is good for me to focus on my own expression first, and ive been glad to see when i do that, like, the art still seems to reach the right people, as unpalatable as it may feel when i think about presenting it. so thank you for sharing your words ^_^
