8 Life Situations Every Woman Will Understand

If there’s one thing about Instagram that makes us feel happy about using it, it’s the boost that the social media platform has given to artists of all genres. While you can bet that it’s the food pages that are the most popular and are multiplying at a faster pace, we simply cannot ignore comic illustration pages that make us go “aww” just about every day. They are uber cute, they are relatable, and they even make you go stand in front of a mirror and analyze yourself.

Okay, coming to the topic of discussion here, it’s not easy being a girl in this overly competitive, insane world, is it? The entire behavioral pattern of women, in general, is extremely overwhelming in its vastness. It can make you love fall in love with them, make you laugh, and even get you emotional. And that’s exactly what Sarah Andersen’s art depicts — the startlingly amusing life situations that every woman will definitely understand, because, hey, they’ve been there and done that. Let’s have a look at them and feel cute about women.

1. “Hi, New Friend! I Want To Tell You My Life Story, But I’m Going To Try To Act Mysterious And Cool”

Raise your hands, dear women, if you’ve been through this. We personally believe that women are very welcoming and can strike off a conversation like a pro with anyone, in the very first meeting. Although, mind you, that’s never their intention ever!

They just wanted to play it cool and create an aura of mystery about them so that the new friend dies to know about them. What happens afterward is a different story though. You end up spilling beans about your present, your ex, and your future crush too (facepalm).

2. “Umm… I Don’t Really Know To Dance. But, Drunk Conditions Apply”

Women, we know now the secret to your dance moves. Isn’t this so true? Women, especially Indian women, are extremely shy. But the moment they have had a beer or two of those Patiala pegs, their inner dance animal comes out. And one can never stop themselves from joining in the dance madness and do a thumka with the pretty (drunk) ladies on the floor.

3. “My Internal Monologue Is What Keeps Me Sane”

Ladies love work, they love thinking about working even more. It’s true, at times, you happen to be so comfortable with the comfortable mood that you just don’t want to start off with your work. In your head, you’re thinking you’d start working in the next 15 minutes. But, the reality is that ten of those 15 minutes have passed by and you’re nowhere near your work desk! They love dreaming that they’re working. That’s enough to keep them occupied.

4. “I Love Me And My Filtered Self”

Tell us ladies, which one is your favorite Snapchat filter? The one that makes you look like you’ve come out straight from the Avatar movie set. Or the one in which you look like your favorite cute pet — a cute pup or a kitten? The filters make these enchanting creatures get lost in the world of their thoughts. It’s fun!

5. “Sundays Are Fun… Most Chilled… Not Worrisome… Best Day Of The Week!”

For everybody, the very first day of the week turns out to be the best day of the week, it’s a Sunday after all. Women especially love their Sundays. It’s that day of the week when they can take a breather when it comes to the responsibilities of the house (no kitchen cleaning), familial responsibilities (no dressing up the kids), and work responsibilities (no logging in), etc. As Monday approaches, they feel like that they merely got a taste of the freedom before it was ripped away from them. A little too soon!

6. “Is This Girl On Fire? No, She’s On Her Periods”

If you come to know that any of your female friends are on their periods, we’d suggest you start playing Alicia Key’s “This girl is on fire” track in your head. Because you just don’t want to mess with a woman while she is on her periods. Even nature wouldn’t!

7. “I’m a Girl And I Can Still Do All Of It”

Women are always seen as this typical gender which isn’t capable of doing rational things in life, for example, running their own business. Such women always encounter questions that go like — “For a girl, you’re doing so well,” “Being a woman, you managed to pull it off.” How do women react to it? *Rolls eyes* (multiplied by infinite times!)

8. “I Could Be The Planting Queen. At Least, That’s What I Thought”

On moving into a new home, women always want to deck up their nests with plants and flowers. They want to grow a variety of those indoor plants that liven up the space of their living room. So, they do, at least, they start to do. What’s the result after two weeks? You find many pots that have RIP written on them. Planting needs to be taken seriously after all.

Mind you, these are just a few of the struggles that women go through in life. They are quite unique, aren’t they? And Sarah’s comics bring out the struggles in a way that one can relate to them in a fun manner. Which of her comic illustrations is your favorite? Let us know in the comments section below.
