Sarah Andersen: The Unofficial Caricaturist Of Our Lives

There's something about someone making me laugh even before I get to know them. I know, it happens a lot on Tumblr, Twitter, and on various platforms. Think of the last time that happened to you? Remember that you liked the person even before reading about them?

Her work is noted as focused for twenty-somethings, yet it is universal. 

Here are some which I think any generation would appreciate (you can try it...send a link to them via DM or email!): 

1.) The downward spiral of thoughts is tricky to avoid

Dan Harris mention it in his book a couple of times (his downward spiral involves Duluth flophouses). Its so easy to follow than through down, than up.

2.) Having 'you' time is not boring at all

Though it could be more of an introvert thing. :)

3.) Dopamine is addictive

4.) Its smart to listen to Brene Brown about vulnerability

"The problem is -- and I learned this from the research -- that you cannot selectively numb emotion. You can't say, here's the bad stuff. Here's vulnerability, here's grief, here's shame, here's fear, here's disappointment. I don't want to feel these. I'm going to have a couple of beers and a banana nut muffin." - Brene Brown, TED

5.) It's okay to say no

If the person you are saying 'no' to is giving you grief about it, then maybe they might not be a good person to be around.

Sarah has made oodles (I would say millions...which is probably true as her work has gone viral: more than 8,000 retweets of her recent strip) smile and laugh like me and you. You can find more of her strips on her site or her Patreon page.
