Hong Kong-based college student, known as BigHeads, makes hand-drawn illustration that are inspired by her daily struggles. She began her journey two years ago, when she started sharing her work on social media.

“I find inspiration for quotes and drawings from my struggles with emotional issues since my teenage days,” the artist shared on Bored Panda. “I hope to spread more encouragement, understanding and support to people going through similar struggles in life with my creativity, and break the stigma of discussing emotional issues, especially in Hong Kong’s society.”

In her latest project, she got inspired by her friends and followers to reflect on self-love.

? 「消極，是為了走更長的路。」 我們都接收了太多樂觀積極的鼓勵 跌倒了絕不可以認輸，必須馬上把負能量揮去，盡快爬起來繼續前行 用力抑壓負能量，再真的可以積極面對生活了嗎？ 讓我們也積極面對消極，別再逃避負能量 跌倒了，就讓自己頹廢一下，躺好休息 耗盡了負能量，才有力量告別消極 發洩了不如意，才有空間迎接希望 // 「 說得好 在哪裡跌倒 在哪裡躺好 消極好 消極一下好 人生有高低潮 說得好 流年不太好 當作上大號 消極好 跟消極擁抱 再分道揚鑣」 消極掰 @jolin_cai // We've been taught to take life with optimism To get up when we fall To not let negativity hold us back But does suppressing negativity really help us go forward? Let's learn to face negativity, positively Don't hide from it anymore Let yourself rest where you fall Let yourself release all the negative energy Until you regain the power to shake it off And the space for hope again

? 【最黑暗的光】 或者生命給我們最絕望的黑暗 是要激勵我們釋放最明亮的光 記得你經歷過那些最黑暗、最無助的日子嗎？ 記得從谷底走出來，在黑暗盡頭找到的光嗎？ 學習接受黑暗中的軟弱，也學習尋找黑暗中的勇氣 在前所未見的黑暗中，才找到自己前所未有的光 更強壯、更勇敢地游出深淵 Maybe life give us the most hopeless darkness To help us find our brightest lights Remember the darkest day you survived And remember the light you found at the rock bottom that guided you out of the dark Find courage in being lost and broken You will find a light never seen in the darkness never been And come out stronger after the dark

#SelfCare 【給自己的時間】 再忙碌，也要記住抽出一點時間給重要的人 給照顧著你的家人，支持著你的同伴 還有一直努力著、最重要的自己 放下人們給「孤獨」冠上的罪名 欣賞獨處的安靜和無慮 預留一點時間放在自己喜愛的事情上 毋須遷就別人的步伐和喜好 以自己最舒適的節奏 享受一本書、一齣電影、一杯咖啡，或是一段漫步 享受屬於自己的時間 No matter how busy you are, always remember to squeeze some time for the important ones Your family, your friends and yourself Let go of the shame people put on "loneliness" And learn to appreciate being alone Reserve some time for yourself doing what you love Enjoy life at your own pace Enjoy a book, a movie, a drink, a walk – alone Enjoy the time you spend with yourself
