Getting over the slew of challenges life throws at people on a daily basis can be tough for just about anyone, but these Problem Glyphs hope to help in some small way. They are symbolic illustrations that started out as a meme late last year and have since blossomed into a symbol of hope and energy.
Drawn by artist Eliza Gauger, Problem Glyphs are created for anyone on Tumblr who reveals a deep secret or source of shame via an anonymous message. Gauger originally posted, "I'm going to draw you a sigil about your problem and you can use it to focus your horrible powers and destroy your enemies." Her Problem Glyphs have spurred on a movement that has helped many overcome their fears and obstacles.
