Even on the cloudiest, coldest days… @mellunman somehow makes it brighter and warmer.

[ID: Hand drawn black and white comic with colored details. In a very grey atmosphere, Chrostin is walking. Above her are grey and darker grey clouds, you can tell it could start raining any minute. Shining through those packed clouds, is one golden sunbeam. It shines directly onto Chrostin’s head. Caption on the down left says: “And I hope one ray of sunshine breaks through the clouds today and follows you everywhere. This quote comes from Adel, who told me this this morning after feeling demotivated to start the day.]

About last night… 💫✨

I had a 3 hour train ride to kill so I figured: “I’m gonna draw about last night!” Last night, I saw a shooting star for the first time in my life. I felt guilty for not being able to share the moment with Adel because I was crampy. Then I wished everything would be alright and actually… things were already pretty okay. At least with @mellunman by my side. I just needed a gentle reminder. 👍🏽 BTW, how hard is it to draw on a wobbly train? Jeez. 🤨

[ID: A black and white hand drawn comic, first slide is Chrostins hand putting away her phone on the bedroom balcony. She joined her partner at the bedroom window. Second slide is her and Adel staring out the bedroom window. It is dark, but not too cold. Caption says: “We talked about our day, stargazed a bit… when suddenly…”, third slide shows Chrostin in more of a foetus position. She got period cramps all of the sudden and says: “Auwch! I might wanna sit down for a second, I think my period cramps are kicking in. Adel looks worried and says: “I’ll heat up the cherry pit pillow.” As soon as he leaves, Chrostin thinks: “Maybe, I should stare at my phone to distract myself from the pain a little bit.” Next slide is her staring through the window, front view. Caption says: “Maybe not.” The next slide is her, still looking outside, a bit frustrated. The immediate picture underneath is her, surprised. The next slide shows a beautiful dark night full of stars and suddenly: a shooting star out of nowhere. As soon as the star extinguished, Adel comes back up with a heated pillow. The final slide is both of them watching something on the laptop, Chrostin has her heated pillow on her belly, thinking: “Wish came true pretty quickly.”]

Boundaries. I write and draw so much about them, so I know it’s a reoccurring ‘thing’ in my life. Or at least: something that I lack. There’s been so much changing and shifting in my life the past few weeks that I tend to forget I have my own feelings and emotions to process.

This quote was reminded to me via an instastory I saw on @emmadaeleman story. From then, I promised myself again to extract myself from every situation, however big or small, where I no longer feel comfortable, welcome or loved. This goes for friendships, romantic relationships and professional ones. Saying ‘no’ in whatever form will always be something that I struggle with. Therefore, I strongly believe we should teach our children on how to say no and when to say no. @cargoconfetti newest book is a good one to start. Want ja, soms is het echt gewoon: liever niet.

[ID: A black and white comic of Chrostin in the corner. She’s waving to someone, who’s quite far in the distance. They’re waving back. In between them is a quote saying: “Boundaries are the distance at which I can love you and me simultaneously.” — Prentis Hemphill]

(NL) Er is ook goed nieuws! Want vandaag kondig ik met veel plezier aan dat ik ook een keynote geef tijdens het (gratis!) Unizo Online Starterscongres. Denk je aan ondernemen? Noteer dan zeker dinsdag 26 oktober in je agenda, want @unizovzw dompelt je namelijk heel die dag onder in alle aspecten van de opstart van een onderneming. Ik ga er ook vertellen over de ups & downs van een creatieve zelfstandige, maar ook de schoonheid in de absolute chaos, dat je niet altijd een plan moet hebben, dat vallen er nu eenmaal bij hoort en nog zoveel meer. Benieuwd naar mijn verhaal? Surf naar onlinestarterscongres.be, schrijf je in of klik op de sticker in mijn story! Het evenement is gratis en online.

[ID]: a hand drawn black and white comic of a mountain sticking out of the ocean. The mountain is surrounded by skies, and the sea is filled with fish and other water creatures, titled: small bizniz iceberg. The tip of the iceberg is what the customer only sees: the products or services. Underneath, below sea level, you have more layers, namely (from left to right, going down): social media + HR + PR + customer service in one person, forever updating knowledge/skills, creating and sometimes working extremely long hours (but never wanna trade for a 9-5 😉), “Haha, I’m the boss” but also: “Shit, I’m the boss!”, mails & mails, figuring out how taxes work, constantly improving your business and updating your portfolio/website.”

please lmk I’m not the only one — I’m at a point I don’t button it up anymore so basically it’s just a loosely-hanging-in-my-pants-top

[ID: A black and white, hand drawn comic of Chrostin wearing a beautiful black bodysuit. She says: ”Such a pretty bodysuit!” while getting ready to walk out of the house, she says “Elegant!”, while walking confidently to wherever she’s heading. The third and final slide is her riding a bike, visibly uncomfortable by the buttons of the bodysuit she’s wearing.] #illustratie #illustration #comic #haha #cartoon #blackandwhite #body #fashion #blogger #black #bodysuit #lineart #itslit

📢🚨De klok tikt en wij hebben jouw hulp nodig

📢🚨De klok tikt en wij hebben jouw hulp nodig. Minister Dalle schrapt namelijk middelen voor Wel Jong Niet Hetero. En dat op een moment wanneer LGTBQ+-jongeren meer dan ooit nood hebben aan ondersteuning, veilige ruimtes en juiste informatie.

Met deze petitie willen we aan Benjamin Dalle maar ook aan de volledige Vlaamse regering vragen om een extra investering in het welzijn en de veiligheid van LGBTQ+ jongeren. Teken nu en geef een duidelijk signaal aan onze ministers!

Op vrijdag 24 september zit de Vlaamse regering samen om hun begroting te bespreken. Wij willen voor die tijd zo veel mogelijk handtekeningen verzamelen, om onze case dan al op tafel te krijgen bij de Vlaamse regering.

Helpen is heel simpel en dat kan zo: verspreid deze post en verzamel op die manier zoveel mogelijk handtekeningen met ons. @weljongniethetero kan jullie steun enorm goed gebruiken. Link in swipe up in mijn verhaal of check hun persbericht of sociale media voor meer info. #SafetyNotFound
