I’m ok said the bee Volume 1 paperback
I'm Ok Said the bee has been a project born out of anxieties that I've faced and still face which was intensified by the pandemic. People close to me know that I don't talk about my feelings or open up which I've now learnt isn't the best way and only makes things worse for myself and the people around me.
As a way of managing I've always doodled which is my alternative to keeping a traditional diary, but just before lockdown I started adding sayings/captions to my illustrations to make sense of what I was feeling. When I felt brave enough I shared these on Instagram and was overwhelmed by the amount of people that felt the same and felt brave enough to message me and talk openly about their struggles and anxieties. The world felt a little smaller and I found that talking openly about these thoughts and feelings to strangers was a kind of therapy that helped each other through. I decided to put a small book together highlighting these thoughts in an illustrative form to say that it's ok not to be ok..
A heartfelt collection of illustrations around daily anxieties we have all felt at some point in time told through the eyes of lovable bumble bee and friends, who take you on a journey and inspire those around them, and remind us It's ok not to be ok ♥️
