First zine I tried to make

A zine I made in 2020 to process emotions

During quarantine in 2020, I was struggling while living alone. After a while, I ended up moving back in with my parents. I made a cringe (positive) edgy zine to help process my feelings and emotions at the time. At the time, my heart had been captured by the early Christian ascetics known as the Desert Fathers and Desert Mothers.

The text in the zine is from quotes from the Desert Fathers and Mothers, and the images are CC0 license images pulled from Pexels. The export of the file is dated to December 1st, 2020, and it was made with the Electric Zine Maker.

You can view it below, or you can download the zine as a PDF file.
