mask – What a Comical Life

Isolation in Ireland #14: Anxiety break

This has definitely gotten better since moving from the city center to the suburbs, but now winter is coming and I have no desire to go outside 😕

Isolation in Ireland #13: Automatic dating app rejects

Dating is hard. Dating in a new country during a pandemic while in lockdown is nigh impossible 🤦‍♀️

(The cross-dressing message was 100% real, though the others are approximations of real messages received)

Isolation in Ireland #7: When are you getting married?

Out of the frying pan and into the fire… 🤦‍♀️ Can’t win!

This comic is not based on a real conversation (I’m lucky that my mom is relatively patient when it comes to such things), but is an amalgamation of real life complaints from female friends of the same age group. COVID turns up the parental pressure no matter how grown you are!

Stay strong, girlfriends 💪
