Last May, I found out I was pregnant at the age of 18, and I felt a mix of fear, confusion, and anxiety. As I was beginning my life and right in the middle of my second semester in college, the thought of bringing a new life into the world was overwhelming. After returning home from my first ultrasound, I started sketching. When I sent a message to one of my closest friends sharing the news about the ultrasound, she playfully remarked that my daughter resembled an astronaut. Inspired by her comment, as soon as I got home, I drew a baby astronaut—thus “My Toasted Astronaut” came to life.
