Doodles: Helper Friends Edition

I've been delving deeper into my own healing journey and in doing that, I'm a bit inspired to share it with everyone else. I'm working on little "Helper Friends" to keep me company along the road..

🌼 Dandy (the Resilient Dandelion)

Once overlooked as a weed, Dandy knows that survival is an act of quiet rebellion. With every puff of wind, she lets go of the past and sends new hopes floating into the world. Bright-faced and unbreakable, Dandy thrives in the cracks, where others said nothing could grow. She's here to remind you that your softness is your strength, and your roots run deeper than anyone knows.

🪨 Pebbs (the Loyal Little Rock)

Sturdy, grounded, and a little shy, Pebbs doesn’t say much—but they’re always there. Pebbs has weathered storms and been kicked around more times than they can count, but look—still standing. They carry stories in their stillness, a quiet witness to every chapter of your healing. Pebbs is proof that even the smallest, simplest things can hold great weight and power.

Next up in our Helper Friends group, we have:

🦋 Whimsy (the Flighty Little Wishkeeper)

Whimsy was born on a breeze and stitched together from dreams that refused to die. Part guide, part guardian, they flit beside Dandy collecting the floating seeds of hope—carrying them skyward, then tucking them gently into the world where they're needed most. Joyful, curious, and just a little chaotic, Whimsy knows healing isn’t linear—it’s a loop-de-loop of wings and willpower. They’re here to remind you: you’re allowed to be light. You’re allowed to change direction. You’re allowed to fly, even when you don’t know the way.

🌼 Dandy & 🦋 Whimsy: The Hopebringers

Together, they’re wind and wonder. Dandy, rooted in grit and softness, knows what it means to survive in the harshest places. Whimsy, made of color and chaos, turns every stray breeze into a new beginning. While Dandy lets go of the past one seed at a time, Whimsy gathers each one like a treasure, spreading it with joyful purpose.

They are not here to fix you.

They are here to remind you: you were never broken.

This duo dances on the edge of healing and growth, proof that even in the messiest storms, there’s beauty in letting go—and magic in what comes next.

Today is my "Little Big" sister's Birthday:

It's my "Little Big" sister's birthday! I made this because I don't have any cake.. (my older sister is 5'3, I'm 5'7, and my younger "Big Little" sister is 5'11) 

I’m creating these emotional support “helper friends” as a way to make healing feel a little less lonely and a lot more gentle—for myself, for my friends, and for anyone following along who just needs a soft place to land. Each character carries a piece of my own journey through trauma, grief, and reclamation—but with a sprinkle of whimsy, kindness, and quiet rebellion. These aren’t just cute doodles; they’re tiny reminders that it’s okay to feel everything, to fall apart, to grow back differently. They exist to hold space when the world feels too loud, too sharp, or too empty. I hope they bring comfort, laughter, and maybe even a little courage to keep going. You can find more *here*
