Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥

Log in to replyit’s great when people talk about their terrible moments without coating them with sugar. thanks for such a raw story
Log in to replyI’m not one to leave comments but this is so, so beautiful.
It reminded me of when my high school boyfriend broke up with me and I chugged 4 glasses of white wine in a row and passed out on my grandma’s couch on easter. I thought I’d never be happy again. Obviously I eventually moved on, but it took a long time.
Heartbreak is literally the worst thing ever.

Log in to replyThis is perfect. The drawings are simple yet complex. The storyline is relatable, not sugarcoated. And while its sad, it doesn’t end with depression. I love it.
Log in to reply‘I cried more than 7 cups of tears’ — one of the most beautiful things I have read this year.
Log in to replyi went through something quite similar, thank you for this

Log in to replyThis is perfect!!!!
Log in to replyThis is so beautiful *sniff*
Log in to replyThankfully i have never gone through anything like this, but I hope you get better<3
I have never felt something real like love for other people. Sure, I love my family and friends, but I have never been in love with somebody. I can see how a heartbreak can be an awful feeling but you know, I kinda want to be heartbroken because at least then I would knew I really felt something strong and sincere for someone else.
Log in to replyOh, sweetheart! Don’t worry about it. It will come in its right time, you’ll see! Wish you lots of love and no heartbreaks!
Log in to replyThis is really beautiful! the drawing really helps convey the raw emotion of the story.
Log in to replyI love this

Log in to replyAw man, what are you doing to my feelings?!
Log in to replyThis is ringing true to me today… my boyfriend just told me he’s leaving for London….
Log in to replyIs someone cutting onions in here? *sniffle*
This was so good, I went through the same thing 2 summers ago and it took me about a year to recover. But I did!
Log in to replythis is my favorite comic on rookie.
Log in to replyAw :(
Log in to replyThis is lovely!
Log in to replyAlso, are you on deviantArt? Your work looks familiar.
Log in to replyThis really shouldn’t be called a “comic”. Is there such a thing as “depressic”? Or “heartbric”?
Well, I guess now there is.
Beautifully done. I know the feeling. </3
Log in to replyThank you for this. I loved your art and your words. I loved your smiths line.
Log in to replyWhat smiths line?
Log in to reply-Lame person who only just discovered the Smiths and doesn’t know most of their music (um, me).

Log in to replyThe Smiths are my life. What do you think so far??!?!??!
Log in to replyExactly what I went through when my first serious boyfriend broke up with me. *sniffle*
Log in to replythis is heartbreaking and beautiful and lovely and tragic

Log in to replyOMG THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING IVE EVER READ seriously thank you so much i loved this and i hope you are doing good. you seems like such a good person, and your art is beautiful and lovely and made me feel so much!
Log in to replylots of love
I love this. I’ve been in unrequited love with a girl who was never interested in me since, depending on how you look at it, either fourth grade or seventh grade. I’m in ninth grade now, and still trying to get over her.
About the “I tried some meds” illustration… please stay away from drugs you inject. Please. I understand if you need something to cope (so do I), but injecting drugs is just so much more dangerous, and makes it so much easier to ruin your life.
Log in to replyhi! don’t worry about the drugs – I have a big fear of needles, and ofc with this one I meant something like vitamins and medical stuff not actually DRUGS. I hardly ever drink alcohol soooo dont worry! xxx
Log in to replyOh, that’s a relief. Sorry. I just saw the mushroom and figured it was all illegal drugs. I guess that was dumb. Good luck, and I’m glad you didn’t die.
Log in to replyVery good!
Log in to replystahp, im crying
Log in to replyugg ur making me cry
Log in to replyI love the comic!, but I think that is important to know that nothing is forever… in some point sad moments and happys moments are the same…
Log in to replyI love this so so so much
