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:
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).
