IT’S OK TO…
Original Character · Illustration
Christmas is supposed to feel like magic. But sometimes it just feels like pressure.
In 2025, I created 9 holiday stamps for the people who needed a different kind of Christmas message. Not "be merry" but "be gentle with yourself." Each stamp pairs Bibo in a festive costume with an honest reminder: it's ok to feel stuck, to have a meltdown, to be slow, to be imperfect.
The most personal one for me was "It's Ok To Feel Stuck." Every creative goes through seasons of doubt. This stamp was my reminder that stillness isn't stagnation. It's part of the process.
At the end of the series, I collected all 9 stamps onto an envelope addressed from "Someone who gets it" to "The person doing their best." First Class Kindness. Not planned from the start, just felt right at the end.
These were never for sale. Just for anyone who needed them.
