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".

be irrational

It's irrational to want happiness while knowing about all the fucking world events and personal tragedies

But there's no other way to achieve happiness

You cannot keep the events and tragedies aside. You have to live with them. And by being irrational about it, by still wanting to be happy despite those things, you'll get happiness

It's rational to worry about finances and parents, be irrational and be in the moment, and think happy thoughts

humility and generosity

Humility is acknowledging your weaknesses, not denying your strengths

Generosity is elevating others, not diminishing yourself

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.
