Just received this in the mail! Squeee! I’m so excited and happy! I’ve read three times already and I simply love it. Also quick note: I LOVE the quality and choice of paper, binding and the overall feel of this volume. The way books feel in my hand is important to me. And the matte feel is so nice. The binding is sharper and feels more “official” book like (I have no other way to describe sorry) compared to the first one, which was more of a gloss and rounder edge like those sonic the hedgehog comics that are super thin. I love both! But volume 2 is my favorite. Anyway! Thank you so much @figmentforms for creating this beautiful comic!! Again it holds a special place of comfort and inspiration during my, well rebirth. I look forward to your next volume, and everything else you do! Ps: you should do an omnibus edition when you complete your comic; take all of my money lol
Well it’s been more than a year since I screwed death over lol
But for cereal, it’s weird….
Its been tough. I cry almost every night, because I HATE laying down: I had to for months, not being able to move.
I could be laughing and having fun and then I notice a beep and I’m suddenly staring up at a white ceiling with irregular beeping that goes with my heart rate. And I start bawling silently because oh my god I’m alone, can’t speak and I’m dying.
I have to touch things, people to constantly remind myself that I’m alive and exist and this isn’t some weird afterlife of “what if I survived” alternate universe or something.
But then I don’t like being touched unbessasarily because nurses, strangers touched me EVERYWHERE and when someone does I’m thrown back to how I couldn’t tell someone “stop it hurts…”
I have had people leave me because I’m not sick anymore or I’m “cured” and it doesn’t reall benifit someone to care anymore. I mean it was more of the right thing to do, be kind and friends with the dying girl right?
Or they left because I changed… but, I’ve always been me right? I just never had the mental (literally no oxygen) or physical ability to be me. I was on pain meds, strong ones… for a couple years. It’s been like that for 3-4 years prior to my miracle.
I’m not afraid of speaking what I think….
All want is people who have issues with me or anything to say something… I’d never be mad if someone didn’t like me… they don’t owe me their friendship. But….I don’t want to be led on… I don’t want to put my heart and love to people, that don’t want it. It’s not fair to them. It’s not right for me to do that.
I don’t know what to do…
I was born into the world with a shit hand and kept drawing shitty cards, once in a while I’ll get a good card. That’s okay. That’s life.
But with this second chance…I lost nearly everything I held dear. My hopes…dreams…
I’ve questioned if it was all worth it.
And I KNOW it was because I know it’ll eventually get better qbut…why does this keep happening…
Posting helps…because I’ll wake up the next morning and see this, I know this is reality…but,
Wow, it’s been quite a journey. A year exactly today is the day new life breathed into me. Literally.
A year ago I was awaiting death to take me across the river but he never came. I prayed to see the ocean and sun again.
I begged to see my Mr. Cupcake even though he was states away.
I guess the gods heard my prayers. We got a call on December 26th, my fathers birthday that they had viable lungs and would be getting surgery the next day.
The best part was, I got to tell my parents, after not being able to talk for months because of a trach; a nurse taught me a trick to temporarily tell them.
I would have never gotten to UCLA if it wasn’t for my Uncle Peter (Peter-Angie Mayhew and his wife Angie, who called a good friend J.r. Stoces who tricked some heads of the hospital to talk to him. He convinced them to look at my case and they chose me. They chose to save me. And they did. When my own state wanted to abandon me for being too far gone, on my birthday declaring that I’d have a week at most to live.
I am forever grateful.
I cherish all those I have met and befriended in my life, because if it wasn’t for the bonds I made with them, I wouldn’t be here.
Not to get cheesy but it’s true what Sora says in Kingdom Hearts; “my friends are my power!”
I’ve also made so many new friends that I wouldn’t have had the pleasure to even know their existence if I didn’t survive. I’m so happy, grateful and proud to know all of you.
And never tell me the odds, I will ALWAYS prove you wrong.
It’s still so very surreal to be here, to still be alive.
Today is by re-birthday. And I can’t wait for many more.

So I JUST now got to the Garudo village in BOTW, and I'm in love with all those sand seal plushies Riju had.. So I made one, this ones mine though. He's awkward and soft. He is love. He is good boy protecting the good doggo. Except when he tries to steal my tacos. Or hogs the bed. He stares at me in my dark room as I sleep too. HALP! Don't trust him, he's evil... and a theif.
I started reading this when I was on my death Bed waiting for a double lung transplant in December. I absolutely love it and can’t wait the next volume!
Thank you for creating this amazing and beautiful jem! @figmentforms
So it’s been a while and I have finally got on the Internet.
Why that’s important? Well back in October 2016 my health plummeted that I was sitting in my deathbed at the hospital in need of a lung transplant. Bad.
Long story short, I got new lungs!! I got out of the hospital January 12th after receiving a lung transplant at UCLA on December 27th.
Now I live in Texas and everyone refused to do a lung transplant due to me being high risks.
But thanks to my uncle peter (peter Mathew- the actor for Chewbacca from Star Wars) and his wife, they roared through social media and got a doctors response who believed in me and gave me the chance to live.
It was hard guys, really hard. But I made and I still have a long way to go. I have to stay in CA for at least six months for recovery. And that’s expensive. But we can do it!!
I can do it.
Well.... I'm at that point... My Cystic Fibrosis has gotten to the point of no return. I need oxygen almost constantly now... I don't know what to do. I say I'm fine but I'm really not. I'm friggin scared man. I know what this means and I wanna live... But this body hates me and wants to take everything away from me. I can't even go out without a wheel chair, any distance greater than a few hundred feet I get out of breath and feel like I'm going to faint. My pfts refuse to improve too. I can't do anything I love anymore and it's heartbreaking.
Thank you! Someone finally made something like this. On top of what this says, a good healthy relationship for a couple shouldn't be "take take take" or "I do everything and they don't". It should be both equal.
For example people always ask me why I pay a majority of the bills? (Car and whatnot)
Well because I get paid for sure on the first, so no accidental missed payments, that's important. And like in return, even though he doesn't have to, he surprises me with gifts. Like NyQuil for when I sleep or a pikachu build a bear. Oh and food, he buys me food.
