Kindness Zine

We can all agree that 2020 was an ‘interesting year.’ Covid unleased a turmoil that the modern world hadn’t seen before. With lockdowns and great uncertainty, I, like many became weighted with anxiety.

I found solace in creating zines and sending them to friends. It felt like a tangible way to stay connected amidst the chaos. While digital communication is essential, there’s something special about receiving a physical zine in the mail. It serves as a reminder that we are not alone in our struggles and that creativity can bridge distances.

This afternoon, I stumbled upon a copy of this particular zine that I had filed away. Honestly, it made me smile to see this little collection of inked images and imperfect handwriting. I reminisced as I made, photocopied, and mailed each one to friends with a teabag. I enjoyed the messages from friends exclaiming that they found the little treat in their mailboxes. It gave me a sense of connection during a time of great disconnect.
