I’m so sorry that you have to have a body

Inspired by the song “Happy & Healthy” by C. Zuckey, this piece reflects on the importance of showing kindness to oneself — not only to the present self, but also to the younger self who once felt alone. Azure revisits a childhood marked by guilt, religious pressure, and a lack of support to express his identity.

In this drawing, the artist imagines offering comfort to that younger version of himself: lending a shoulder to cry on, listening, and nurturing the dreams that were once dismissed. The work becomes an act of healing and self-empathy, a visual reminder of the ongoing journey toward becoming truly “happy and healthy.”
