I’m starting a new series of doodles on my instagram today, called “It is important that you stay”.* I am going to try and do one a day for one hundred days. As usual with me, I got overenthusiastic and did four, and then will probably forget to do any for a week before I do another few. I’m not very good with routine or daily commitments!

This series is about mental health and wellbeing. They are illustrated thoughts that might help someone in a dark season. It is reasons why and how to stay, to fight for another day.

Let me know what you think, and if you have thoughts that would fit into the series that you’d like me to try and doodle. Diolch!

*The phrase isn’t mine, it is pinched from a moment during Colour Conference where Bobbie addressed people who might be feeling suicidal.
