So many social media influencers claim to try to reach their ultimate potential, but instead sell snake oils, other defective products, and toxic positivity as a cure-all. In this comic, I wanted to exist in a world there they actually want to improve and actively seek it by listening to disabled people.

It is also an encouragement to those who do seek self improvement - it is possible to do, and one of the ways is to grow empathy, seek education in things we don't know about (while accepting that we, in fact, do not know a lot of things and that is ok), and sit down to actually listen to others.

For us who have IH, this might feel a lot like a pipe dream to have someone actually listen and try to understand us without constant drumming of "you are lazy", "try harder", from family, friends, social media, and just everyone around us. But I think it could happen if those who can't fathom how our existence differs from theirs dedicate themselves to grow as people.

I root for them to reach their full potential. Ultimate. Potential.

All it takes is the first step to Want to understand, sitting down, and BELIEVING PEOPLE when they tell that XYZ is happening. Through empathy, anything is possible.

Take care, stay safe - and remember, you deserve people in your life who believe you and believe in you. I will be back with a new comic in couple of weeks again. <3
