If you’re a girl, you've probably had a moment in your life when you thought being a boy must be so much easier. Well, I'm not sure if boys ever have any similar questions spinning in their heads, but if they do, here’s something that might make them happy they’re not one of us. Or perhaps not!

Now, if you're a girl, you're in the right place, because we'd like to introduce you to the new artist making her debut on Bored Panda. The series 'Sheya Animation' focuses on the everyday life of girls and all the dilemmas many of them might have. These relatable comics showcase situations that almost all women have faced at some point in their lives, and some younger ladies are probably still experiencing.

Scroll down to see a collection of comics we selected for you and to find out more about their author.

Both boys and girls should learn to treat one another with respect. That’s what I was taught.

Bored Panda reached out to the illustrator behind the ‘Sheya Animation’ series and asked some questions regarding her work. Firstly, we wanted to know what inspired the artist to start creating comics, and we learned that: “I got inspired by other cartoonists and animators, mostly, and how funny they are, and I also wanted to create my own fan base and started creating my cartoons.”

The fact that the series is inspired by the author’s personal experiences makes it honest and relatable to many girls out there. As the illustrator shared with us: “My cartoon strips mainly follow a slice-of-life kind of pattern, childhood memories and day-to-day life are what my cartoons represent.”

I was watching a YouTube video or something once, and this therapist was talking about how one of his clients comes in with this huge list of expectations that he wants in a woman. Demure, funny, cleans all the time, skinny, blonde, tall, etc etc. his therapist, having dealt with his client asking for help with finding a girlfriend and then asking his client to do the list, looks it over. After a moment, he turns the list back to the guy and points to it, asking, "So what kind of person do you think this woman will be looking for?" The guy paused and was defeated. You have to know what you bring to the table along with what you want. You don't have the amount, you're not gonna get what you're looking for.

That's an important perspective to have for everyone. We need to figure out what is truly most important to us, and accept that we might have to settle a little.

Men CAN have standards...but you can't have high expectations for others when you yourself isn't "that great" either. Most people want an amazing person to be WITH, very few want TO BE an amazing person for someone else.

Imagine thinking your art is edgy because you drew a woman insulting a man because she's not his type. Imagine if it was reversed and she was called out? "I need a 7'9 blonde hair blue eyes 19" d**k" "Pretty high standards for a woman considering the fact that you have the personality and smell of a stale dorito"

As the artist shared with us when asked about more details about the characters featured in her comics: "The main character is a girl in her early to mid-twenties, and her parents and friends appear from time to time."

We were also wondering how the creator of the 'Sheya Animation' series comes up with ideas for her new strips. We found out: "I basically draw from my own experiences or something interesting I heard from a friend. And sometimes it's pure imagination."

Lastly, the artist told us what motivates her to create her comic series: “I like to make people laugh, and if my cartoons are making people laugh or smile, that's what my biggest influence is.”

I had an aunt at a family reunion tell me she didn't remember me. She had been living in Arizona since 1963 with no visits back to Ohio. I told her I was only 1 the last time she saw me, so it was okay.

It's sometimes easier to get forgiveness than permission, as the old adage says, but this doesn't apply to pets. Getting a pet is a decision that all parties should be 100% on board with.

People keep pointing out girls dress up for themselves. Boys have their own side with a spectrum of choices, that tend to get lumped together as well.

I only had very mild period cramps despite having PCOS. Instead I had constant idiopathic pain throughout my abdomen that only stopped after a total hysterectomy. It was interesting because my period actually seemed mild compared to the pain I experienced the rest of the time. 🤷‍♀️ Our bodies are both weird and wonderful. One person's experience does not negate any others'.

Me with my bf. I sometimes get insecure because I can imagine life without him and other girls "can't live without" their bfs, but then I remember love is a choice. I want him.

I have this with mascara. The lashes of the right eye behave when meeting mascara while the left refuses to play nice.

Aesthetic relativism is the philosophical view that the judgement of beauty is relative to different individuals and/or cultures and that there are no universal criteria of beauty.

I learned as a freshman in a generally sophomore chemistry class to shut up about how much I did (or didn't) study before an exam. Mind you, I took notes and did the homework, and it was still serious work, but sometimes you don't have to openly talk about how you feel going into an assessment.

That's when you do the awkward admiration of the ceiling, floor, or literally anything else you can look at

Noticing a trend where some see a 'no' response as a negotiating tactic, while others see it as a conclusion to a discussion. Both genders have a history of falling on both sides, in my direct experience. So, in the image above, does she really mean no, or does she just want something more significant than the flower?
