art about feeling seen & being kind to yourself (and others)
issue one
we’re here to be inclusive, representative and create art for you that resonates, relates or makes you feel seen. its important to be authentic in the conversation of issues like mental health, lgbtqa+ bipoc experience and taking care during uncertain times.
we’re a zine, formerly short for fanzine, which is a self-made magazine that has evolved and shifted over the last 90 years. the zine is an unmatched form of publication - dipping its corners into the histories of punk rock, riot grrrl, black and queer communities, technological advances and printing of all types.
sugarkind is honored to be in your hands.

all hands on deck
be good to yourself be good to yourself
01 allow yourself to feel things allow yourself to feel things fully, both the good and the bad. don’t put limitations on your feelings. emotions like sadness, pain and happiness will help you understand yourself and realize that you are not your feelings. we are not our emotions, even though we feel them, and all emotions will pass.

02 allow yourself to make mistakes
take it easy on yourself. every single person makes mistakes, and something going wrong is not the end of the world. make mistakes so you can learn and grow from them. you’re constantly changing and growing, and along the way you won’t get everything right but that is okay.
03 allow yourself to say no!
you don’t have to please other people by saying yes to things that you don’t want to do. you don’t have to have a reason or a prior commitment to say no; you don’t owe an explanation to anyone. know how valuable your precious time is and don’t stretch yourself too thin. it is more than okay to say no.
