Helvetica, in these last few pages, has apologized frequently for things that are not her fault. She’s apologized for reminding Old English of a meeting, she’s apologized to Futura for being busy, and now she’s apologizing for her emotions. I’m sure all of us are guilty of doing this at some point or another, but your own feelings aren’t something you need to ask forgiveness for! Remember to be kind to yourself today.

In that vein, here’s something I was angry with myself for when I shouldn’t have been: While I was inking this page, I accidentally spilled a glass of water on it, ruining everything. I was really mad at myself, even when it was totally an accident!

Eventually, I had to re-do all the inking. This was a pain, of course, but it wasn’t worth getting mad. In the end, everything worked out just fine.
