I was a little hesitant to make this one actually. I do think comics can be a good way to address these kinds of things, but I sometimes worry that I simplify these complex issues too much, or that I get too symbolic or vague. And after having spent a lot of time on tumblr, I question how original I can be on this topic, because tumblr sometimes seems obsessed about depression and social anxiety. There are so many illustrations, comics, comments, etc about it. But I guess it's because it affects so many :(

You can't break free from your own mind. You need another mind to influence your own into thinking differently. The cage within won't open immediately, but it stays ajar and slowly opens with enough effort over time. Alas, it might never fully open, but it also never needs to. For as long as ye have that other mind/other person that's keeping it from closing itself, then it'll be so much easier to stay that way. The best way for that to work, though, is to BE the other mind and be able to keep the cage open YOURSELF. But as mentioned, you can't quite escape your own mind.
