Failing at something is always hard, but the hardest part is looking at yourself in the mirror and being brave enough to still keep trying. Getting past that part means you’re one step closer to succeeding! 💪✨

🐥💖 happy 10th anniversary to my dear friend and inspiring artist @chibirdart! For #chibirdversary2020 I'm sharing my fav chibird comic that is helping me get through covid isolation... My bright side: I get to spend more time on personal art 💕 (at Maryland/D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZrg_Zleyk/?igshid=z1afy7hiooea

The comic I started on the Chibirdversary stream yesterday!! 🎉 I had so much fun with you all, through all the sneezing and crying, knocking over my my plushes, and desperately trying to read the speeding chat while drawing! I'm honestly still so shocked and full of love from the surprise site yesterday (up for eternity at chibird.com/chibird10), and I’m so thankful for all my loved ones and friends who helped put it together and contributed pieces.

I was told that people were commenting "chiburger" and "chicken sandwich" in chat as I was drawing the 3rd slide, and I thought that was so hilarious I put it in! (≧▽≦) Thank you all so much for coming to the livestream! I have seriously the kindest, most positive community, and you all make me feel so loved! 😭❤

These past 10 years of Chibird have changed my life. I was in high school when I started drawing comics just for fun, and 10 years later I feel like I've come so far that high school me wouldn't even be able to imagine it. Through Chibird, I've been able to work through anxiety and insecurity, and I’ve learned the perseverance and determination to keep going, even through the failures and self doubt. I've been able to publish a book, meet you all at conventions across the country, and even make friends! And even though I've come so far, I still see Chibird as the product of a girl trying to find happiness in the world and figuring it out slowly. :’ )⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Ahhh! I'm not great at writing (how can you all see the well of emotions I’m feeling without a million emojis?!), but I hope you all know how immensely grateful I am for all of you here. For everyone who's sent, shared, and liked my posts. For the kind souls who leave sweet comments that brighten my day. For everyone whose joined my Patreon, or bought from my store, or picked up merch at a convention. You all have left positive rays of light in my life, and I hope that I can shine some of that light back to the world with my art! ☀️⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I'm so happy to celebrate with you all this year, with some fun events from now until the end of the month! 🎉💕 Let's kick it off with the egg hunt today!⁣
