how teenieminys came to be

to be quite honest, i was in my darkest moments due to post covid complications. My health was not like how it was and had to quit my job, move back to my parent's house and went through several different medication that affected my immune system.

i am actually really fortunate to have the support that i received at the time, but mentally i was still not at my usual place. Obviously i tried to deny that part in my brain, to force myself that i should feel better by now. But that denial accumulated & i started lashing out to people who were taking care of me, my family, friends. I guess people who know you the most can tell that you are not being your usual self.

i decided to listen to music & draw my feelings out, sort of create an outlet for my depressive state. Because i used to be the child who would always bring paper and pencil and doodle everywhere i go. Make little A4 comic books stapled and share with my friends and read it in a funny voice.

and i guess that's what teenieminys are here for, it's to rediscover your childhood passion and make yourself fall in love in what you feel like you've lost for a really long time.

i want to spread the message that if i can start healing with what i've gone through, then anyone can as well.

i hope my little minys can be a part of your healing journey, wherever that may be.

with all my love,
