COMIC: I Want to Live

Thank you for this. My own ideations are also usually a reaction to feeling unwanted by a family member -- and I have to remind myself that there are so many other people and things to consider, but I feel like it's a similar arc: my norm is allowing my thoughts to reach a familiar negative conclusion, despite a mountain of other more positive possibilities lurking just in the periphery. But the end result here is what I have to drag back into focus: the true, undistorted picture of all that anchors me. So it made me happy to see this last frame for you. Plus, you're cool, and I love your comics.

I had a similar moment in my life when I was reading The Fault In Our Stars. When Hazel says that she's a grenade, it finally hit me that I was one too. And that if I went out like that, I would hurt so many people. I realized that I couldn't do that to the people I love. But I 100% understand the wanting a button to disappear. I've always been scared to die, but at the same time, never really wanted to be alive either. I'm happy to be alive now, but that journey is hard. Thank you for sharing this.

This is so beautiful, thank you for it.

I’m curious, has your perspective on Robin Williams’ death changed at all since his family came forward and revealed that the root cause of his death was Lewy Body Dementia?

I’ve always loved this one.
