Lily of the (Saturn) Valley 🪐🌱 #EarthBound
Digital illustration of a lily of the valley against a hazy green, yellow, and pinkish orange background, but its flowers are all Mr. Saturns from the 1994 video game Earthbound / Mother 2. Each Mr. Saturn is a round whitish tan little creature with a large round nose and little round eyebrows. They each have a green stem on the top of their heads that attaches them to the plant instead of their usual black antenna, and little red leaves swirl around the stems and tie into little red bows. The lowest Mr Saturn has detached from the rest of the plant fully formed and is jumping down to a nearby leaf.

What's something your younger self needed to hear?
a black and white comic with a character and a kid. the speech bubble says 'yes, you're weird. but also really cool.' a black and white comic with a character and a sulky teenage character. the speech bubble says 'sorry nobody checked in on you, and made you feel like your thoughts and feelings didn't matter.' a black and white comic with a character holding another character's shoulders. the speech bubble says 'this is not working out and you need to leave. it doesn't make you a failure, you're removing yourself from a toxic place so you can start healing' a black and white comic with a character hugging another character. the speech bubble says 'you're not stupid or lazy. you have undiagnosed adhd and you don't deserve to hate yourself like this'
