Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I would be mad that everyone ELSE got a balloon and not me.
Then I'd be mad that I'm 41, and mad about a balloon.
Then I'd be mad at realizing I probably have anger management issues.
Reminds me of this one:
Too real
That tracks.
I don't have to ask. I just assume whoever I'm talking to hates me.
*I* do not, and if there's one, then surely there's more like me? :-P
Moreover, I think it's impressive that you have dedicated so much of your efforts to improving people's experiences here on the Fediverse. Even if people disagree with you on some point - which for myself I am aware of nothing but even if there were - that would still be true. You probably don't get thanked often, so I offer it, and I hope that you will accept.
But also, I hope that you find a way to show kindness to yourself too:-). Our families may have royally fucked us up for life, but we can do different, for ourselves! Or at least, I very much (desperately) hope that can be true.
I try to show kindness through my volunteer work, although I've done less of it in the past year since my illness leave me with very little energy and I have to use that to take care of my daughter.
Also, thank you!
Indeed, I find that if we don't take care of ourselves, we become a burden to others and can't help anyone, so that's so important to remember (that if we want to help "others", it has to start with ourselves).
Get out of my head!
Oh man, some written phrases you can just hear!
