The original version of this comic looked a little different than the one you’re seeing.

The legs weren’t where they were supposed to be in the last 2 frames. And the picture frames were a bit more colorful. This made the spoken text overlapping the frames a little hard to read.

But I posted it anyway. (it’s still on instagram.)

Past Dominique would’ve fixated on that last frame!

I would’ve spent entirely too much time trying to redesign the entire comic.

I would’ve gotten behind on my deadlines.

And then, I would’ve been upset with myself for not getting things done when I planned.

I also would’ve worried about what my art director and design peers thought about it. I would’ve convinced myself it was “bad design”.

Realizing that while working on this particular comic made me smile because I didn’t do any of those things. 

I just made sure it was legible enough before I decided to call it a day. 

I caught myself being compassionate in real time!

What would it mean for you to be more compassionate with yourself?
