Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑
Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

A big part of social media is the Secondary Hobbies. You need mutuals who have a harmless additional interest that you will otherwise never learn about, but you kind of root for it to work for them. I hope you do enjoy the new issue. Your needlepoint looks great. I'm +1ing for you

A little comic about trauma responses. Which one are you?
The four trauma responses:
Fight “I face threats head on and with aggression”
Flight “I remove myself from the situation”
Freeze “I feel an inability to move or response”
Fawn “I try to please to avoid conflict. I’ll agree with you even when I actually disagree. I crave acceptance and struggle with codependency. I lack boundaries and have a hard time saying no. I take full responsibility for things not my fault. I don’t advocate for my needs.”

For all those who feel behind their peers, you’re not alone!
Meg says “my 20s were full of alcoholism, debt, pain, depression and bipolar that was undiagnosed for years. I feel so far behind my peers.” Carson shrugs “comparison is the thief of joy, take pride in the challenges you faced and grew from.”
