Every moment we aren't living for ourselves is wasted time.
Every day spent listening to advice from people who refuse to see any other angle than their own is a day lost forever.
Every year stuck with giving an ear to every influencer and random human and what their idea of happiness and health is....is a year you didn't spend listening to yourself.

So I propose a very simple idea.

No More "Advice".
And even better - kick the people who keep giving that advice out of your life (if possible, safe, and realistic to your situation).
If those people are influencers, unfollow them and find people who aren't giving you shit advice with a huge side of snake-oil.

At minimum, tune them out and start listening to what you need.
Find your limits, acommondate your needs, ask for help, and take a break.

Do what makes you happy.
It doesnt even need to be a big thing - but I ask you to do one thing that makes you happy every day. Pet your cat, look outside of the window, touch grass, give someone a compliment, eat something nice, take a small step towards your dream, text a funny meme to a friend.

I have sworn to myself to do this every day and drown out the endless bullshit every other person seems to spew - while being so unhappy themselves that they just have to butt into other people's lives.

(And yes, all of these examples are literally from people I have known in my life. No they were not okay when they gave me advice. Yes, I wish I could kick them to work on their own damn selves)

Now that I am whole for the first time in 22 years...I just don't have time for feeling like "I should do more" or "need to push myself"...when in fact I have always done my best. That is how I lived this long, and survived so much.

I hope you'll make it where I am at, one day.

I'll see you again with a new comic in two weeks. I'll try to make it pride-themed if I can. <3

Take care, stay safe, please wear a mask, and see ya!
