30 Realistic Illustrations That Will Help You In Surviving The World Of Women - Shared By An Artist Online
The best thing you can do in your chaotic circumstances is to laugh it off.
This wasn’t some dramatic movie plot, it was a daily-life scroll that kept getting better. One minute you’re laughing at “Sunny is adorable,” the next you’re nodding at “Life isn’t fair sometimes,” because somehow the jokes hit a little too close to home.
Artist Bella Maris turned those relatable moments into realistic diary-style illustrations, and the whole series reads like a group chat you can’t stop refreshing. Her childhood heroes were Disney princesses and Sailor Moon, but her panels are pure modern reality, from “Waiting for perfect skin” and “True crime podcast” to “5th mental breakdown” and “Still look cute though.” Even the pet-owner ones, like “All dogs do DAT” and “To all the pet owners,” feel like they’re calling you out.
By the time you reach “New year, new girl,” you realize this isn’t just art, it’s a survival guide disguised as cute.

The vibe starts sweet with Sunny, then immediately pivots when “Life isn’t fair sometimes” shows up like a plot twist.
Bella originally planned to create diary comics for herself as a humorous and original way to remember things. Many women can relate to the way she portrays the problems that women face and how we deal with them in our daily lives.
Her childhood heroes included Disney princesses and Sailor Moon. However, she spent a lot of time alone practicing, reading picture books, and watching cartoons.

Once “What a dramatic ‘girl’” and “Monday isn’t so bad” hit, you can almost hear the group chat arguing in the background.
The humor gets real with “Waiting for perfect skin,” “Peace isn’t an option,” and “5th mental breakdown,” like Bella is drawing the receipts.
Then it ends on comfort and chaos, with “Vote for fluffy socks,” “True crime podcast,” and “All dogs do DAT,” because somehow everyone survives and still looks cute.
