Our self-talk for bad days series is designed to gift kind language for sitting with and processing challenging feelings and situations. 2020 and 2021 have been hard years for all of us. Because many things have been unavailable (travel, dining, shows), we haven’t been able to paper over these hardships with positive experiences or to distract ourselves - and instead have had to sit with them. These cards are a small effort to put out a language of kindly relating to ourselves as we face hardship.

Our good wishes 2021 cards aimed to capture the two-sided experience of simultaneous joy and sorry that we’ve been living through during pandemic with a touch of our cynical humor. Life is always a matter of perspective, and every story can be told more than one way. Life has no absolutes - and times like this require a bit of humility and humor as we try to figure out how to manage our relationship with the world. Live your life, your way.

We decided to create a non-partisan campaign that focused on all the good we can accomplish by consistently holding our government accountable. Each graphic touches on real life struggles with a touch of Exhausted Millennial style.

As Exhausted Millennials, it can be hard to find the motivation to keep working, keep being kind, or keep trying to better ourselves. Especially in this time, it can feel a bit pointless to care or make efforts — and giving up can be tempting and even feel good.

It was from this struggle that we began designing our second project: illustrations for personal motivation. Each card has a personal mantra or affirmation with cute animals to make you feel good. We hope that these might brighten your day and help you to invest in yourself.
