'Dear Mela', the illustrated advice against pandemic boredom

Illustration by Mela Pabón for the office of 'Querida Mela' in EL PAÍS

The increase in pandemic boredom has caused a wave of unnecessary conflict.

This is why EL PAÍS opens Mela Pabón's illustrated counseling mailbox:

Querida Mela

.

Readers can send their little crises to

queridamelapabon@gmail.com

, to tell someone else about the problems that friends got tired of hearing.

The humorous Instagram astrologer illustrating comedy horoscopes will use the inspirational messages for her next posts.

Pabón, better known as Madame Mela on the internet, opened her account to vent after Hurricane María that hit Puerto Rico in 2017. There she began to write “the horoscope I needed at that time”, based on the signs of the zodiac with simple illustrations.

His humorous advice is followed by more than 919,000 people on the web.

Mela Pabón's responses to readers:

This is not a substitute for professional help, each case was written for synthesis and the advice is based on the opinion of Pabón, "someone who also shits it."
