Zine 3 of 6 in the Hue Year's Resolution Zine Collection. These diaristic explorations tell a chronological story through typographic, prose-filled digital collage art.
Beginning with past abuse & trauma and ending in my healing process, these zines take you through 6 years of my life (2012–2017), one hue at a time.
2022 marks one decade from the start of these events that led me to dark days, but never destroyed me. I am here today, celebrating my survival with the minting of this collection.

------THE FINDNG: ZINE 3, YELLOW
Life Period: 2014, where I become madly drunk on life (amongst other things) and exist as intensely as I possibly can until eventually I reach the sun.
This title holds a triple meaning:
-
The finding of myself as a separate entity, unattached and free-falling for the very first time.
-
A reference from my Catholic upbringing, the fifth joyful mystery, where Jesus is found in the temple, challenging the priests and questioning their interpretation of the Bible. This feels congruent to my own curiosity during this time, questioning what he had taught me and searching for answers in a new world where he was less present.
-
The finding of a new soul — one who is just as lost, and as divine timing will have it, we fell into each other.
This zine takes place after three years of feeling so hopelessly lost but so absolutely free. Three years of pushing my limits and seeing just how far I could possibly go before I reached the edge of the cliff. Three years of navigating uncharted waters, only to find that water was all that there was to begin with, and that attempting to navigate any longer was futile. I decided to drown.
I had friends that cared, but when you're that high up, everything else looks like ants—so tiny and seemingly insignificant. It was easy to ignore anyone who was trying to call me down.
I wasn't sure what I wanted or what was right. I felt like I was flying but I just kept slamming into the sides of some self-constructed cage that I had no idea I held the keys to.
And just when I thought I couldn't take it any longer, a new sun rose. Have you ever loved hysterically?
