After  Ahriman mentioned bloom county and their dandelion breaks it reminded me of how much i loved those comics as a kid and i just had to draw this.
I have really bad anxiety, it literally cripples my ability to function as a normal person a good majority of the time, and i relate very much to the gang's need to just shut things off and take a break for a moment. There is just too much going on in the world for one person to handle and it's alright to say "i can't take it it's too much" and give yourself some distance in a nice peaceful place.
what's going on in the world right now is terrifying, and absolutely out of my control and that has me all sorts of fucked up. I'm trying to deal with it as best i can by ignoring it for my own sake because the emotions and fear are overwhelming but intrusive thoughts and such lovely little recommendations on youtube such as stories of whole families dying of the virus really just love to worm their way in and i start panicking all over again- what if i lose my friends? my family? the people i have chosen and been so lucky to have in my life could just... disappear... I worry constantly because so many of them are still forced to go to work because they are "essential" when more often than not it's just capitalistic greed and nothing more, putting everybody at risk.
What if /I/ die? i'm not ready for that.
And that's on top of my own constant personal demons and issues that plague me constantly as it is which i will not get into both for the sake of keeping this Relatively short and also because it is of no importance to most of you

it's just... a very lot and i try to not bring it up to my friends or anything too often but quite frankly this whole year is taking a massive toll on me. all i can do is keep trying as hard as i can and take my dandelion break.

Please stay safe everybody. Remember to take breaks if you need to. I think we all need one.
