silly little comic about chronic pain

[image id: an 8 panel comic

the first panel has a conversation between two people. the one on the right is a light gray, and facing away from the viewer. they are meant to represent a generic person. they are saying, "wow, chronic pain sounds like it sucks." sucks is written in a dark pink. the person on the right has tan skin, a pink shirt, and pink hair. he responds "haha yeah."

the second panel shows the same two people, with the first person saying "how do you tolerate it? i'd go crazy!" tolerate is written in a dark pink. the second person responsed "um..." and trails off

the third panel shifts to a drawing of the second person sitting curled into himself. it is entirely grayscale, except for his pink hair, which is a little more muted. the text around him reads "i tolerate it because not doing so isn't an option". 'isn't an option' is written in dark pink.

the fourth panel shows him sitting and leaning against the left edge of the frame, with his legs stretched out. it reads "because what else am i supposed to do?" supposed is in all caps and written in dark pink.

the fifth panel shows a torso up drawing of him in the bottom right corner. the text reads "i can't hope for a day i'll wake up and be better." better is written in dark pink and all caps on the left half of the panel.

the sixth panel shows him sleeping, with a brown dog near his head. the text above him reads "all i can do is make sure i wake up." wake up is written in dark pink.

the seventh panel is all text, reading "i tolerate it because it needs to be tolerable". tolerable is written in dark pink.

the eighth panel shifts back to the conversation between the two people. the man finishes his response to the other person's question with "i don't know".

enjoy life

Do things according to your intuition, then find reasons to justify them.

Sometimes you need to do research and find reasons beforehand. While doing this, be patient. You will get whatchu want.

Be patient always. Things will happen for you. Good things will happen for you.

But also have the courage to face izzues when things don't go your way.

Don't be disappointed or distraught.

Don't get angry at people, things, or circumstances.

Understand that it was always one of the results and accept it with patience.

Enjoy life.

Хрустальное утро by Алексей Угальников

forget her

Have you forgotten her yet?

"Not yet." replies the prisoner, just like yesterday and the day before and the day before that.

"Then you'll stay here till you do. I'll come back tomorrow."

The prisoner laughs, just like yesterday and the day before that and the day before that.

mindfulness

is waiting for the next thought

86 units shy of a stupid degree

I don't have a marketing degree, so I work harder than those with one.

I don't have that piece of paper to point to when people ask for my qualifications so I've built a body of work that I can point to instead.

Work that I've poured my everything into.

Work that shows bottom-line improvement numbers because I don't have grades to show.

When I take up a project I put my back into it because I know that if I fail people won't attribute it to market conditions, budget constraints, or bad luck but to my lack of a marketing degree, formal education, and theoretical knowledge.

everybody's a creative

Anyone can be creative and come up with ideas

But real creatives come up with ideas and own the ideas

Execute and own the execution

Take feedback without taking it personally and then make changes to fit the bill

This takes training and hardwork

This takes dedication and persistence

Go ahead and call yourself a creative but don't forget to do all these things
