Kastuś Žybul: ABC of exclamations (Comic drawings)

»It’s easier to cry alone.«
I often want to talk about my feelings, but not always. The main thing is that the feelings are simply there, and it’s not always necessary to talk about them. For me, the most important thing is to have them, to live with them, to feel them. And I want to talk about the strongest and brightest feelings–both positive and negative. For example, when they are troubling or, on the contrary, when they are so good that I want to share them. When you talk about a bad feeling, it might become weaker. But there are also secret feelings you don’t want to talk about at all. And then there are feelings that aren’t secret but are difficult to put into words. A few times, I’ve managed to express them through drawing. It’s not always easy to express feelings in every circumstance. Sometimes there are obstacles–for example, when the people I want to talk to are busy. It’s easier to express feelings when it’s quiet or when no one is watching me. It’s easier to cry alone. Every one of my drawings has its own story. Sometimes I draw when I’m in a bad mood, sometimes when I’m in a good one. I also write stories and plays where I express my feelings, thoughts, and moods. It’s important for me to express them.
