Everyone should read her books! Or her substack, or her blog. Or all of those!
IT WILL BE OKAY by Jenny Lawson (thebloggess)
Read on Substack
This week’s doodle was one I started a long time ago and came back to off and on whenever my anxiety got crazy. This week I finished it.
“Sometimes when my anxiety gets out of hand the only thing that gives me comfort is doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over and…”
Does it count as art if it’s just text? I’m not sure, but it brings me comfort and maybe it will bring you comfort too.
Whenever I worked on this I reminded myself that every time I’d been worried in the past, if I could go back it time I would assure myself that “It will be okay.” Maybe not easy. But always okay, eventually. And now I tell myself that again. I tell you too.
It will be okay.

PS. In other art-related news, feel free to interpret this (probably not haunted) painting I wasted too much time pointlessly cleaning.

I bought a calendar last year-just amazing, wonderful art! I still have it, and color in it now and then. Her books are so very funny; she just has a way.

I ran across Jenny Lawson years ago online, and it’s good to know she’s still out there, fighting back…

She got her bookstore opened, and they’re doing wonderfully! And another book. She’s fighting the battle, one foot in front of the other.

She’s tough, she’s funny, and she fights back. When I lost my Blogger account, I lost her too.

The blog of hers I linked above is a WordPress blog, free to follow and read. The Substack is easily available from the Substack link at the top, and can be subscribed to for free. Happy Reunion!
