ILLUSTRATOR SAYS:

The aim of my project: to provide a comfort blanket for my soul and the soul of others.

Day 21 image:

  • I see bullying everywhere.

  • Some wear it like a shiny badge of honour.

  • Children.

  • Adolescents.

  • Adults.

  • I see some seem to enjoy it.

  • And I read research shows it’s often not because they are hurting themselves as some like to believe, they genuinely feel superior.

  • God only knows why they often get protected.

  • I may die never understanding the evil of humankind.

  • Hard boundaries is what anyone gets for bullying me now.

  • Bullies: not welcome and shouldn’t be. Any. Where.

Background to The 100 Day Project:

This is a project led by Lindsay Jean Thomson who is a writer and co-founder of Women Catalysts. In 2016, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, a bizarre yet life-affirming experience she chronicled for VICE.

I’d love to get your support and encouragement over the next few months if you’d like to comment and share.

Hope anything I create gives you a little bit of comfort for your soul.
